Bergen Scottish Society

Summer Barbecue 2013

• Summer event
Sunday 16th June, Rongesund, Øygården

A great big thanks to Christine, one of our members, and her husband who graciously invited us out to their home on the islands for a barbecue.  Upon arrival, our host and hostess made us feel right at home, greeting us with a velkomst drikk and letting us loose on their large property within throwing distance of the Rong bridge.  After fulfilling our appetites with a large selection of grilled meats and salads, a lone piper accompanied by a tenor drummer, both from the Bergen Pipes & Drums, played a few tunes out on the rocks, with the sea as the backdrop.  Then we split into two groups; the fishermen who tried their hand at rounding up some dinner, and the hikers, who followed our host to the well-marked trails at Ormhilleren he himself has put countless hours of time towards in their creation and up-keep.

Gathering together one last time for some laughs over a wee bit of cake, strawberries and coffee, we thanked our hostess with some Solheim Kjøtt famous haggis and left with the invitation to return next year!
