“8-week-old in India and off to buy my first saree for #Diwali! A tough choice between all the fabrics, colours and weaves. What amazing craftsmanship! I tend to think I will go with red. What do you think? Btw the husband is also going Indian! His kurta pick was easier though,” she wrote. The Norwegian ambassador wrapped up her post with an image.
