This week Riley built a tea cart with from an Erector set that has been used and loved by four generations before her. The original pieces to the set date back a hundred years. They and the “newer” fifty year old pieces are kept in a box built by her great great grandfather Henry.

Our short visit to Njardarheimr gave us insight into life in 11th Century Norway and educated us on the role of “Vikings” within the Norse community of the time.
