... a seasoned professional: Charles chips away at the log as Norwegian Royals and Camilla watch

The Duchess of Cornwall and Queen Sonja of Norway visit an outdoor nursery school in Bergen, Norway as part of an eight-day Scandinavian tour that coincides with the Queen's Diamond Jubilee

Camilla was given a quick lesson in wood-whittling using a carving knife

For Camilla's lesson in skills of the great outdoors, she was taught the art of wood whittling.
Camilla looked chic in a cape-style coat while Norway's Queen opted for a bright yellow rain hat for the visit to the nursery.
The forest environment provides an idyllic site and space for a playground where the children can experience a range of outdoor activities throughout the year and in all kinds of weather.
The Duchess has expressed interest in learning more about the health and educational benefits of such an approach.

Charles and Camilla also went to the Haakonshallen, a medieval hall Charles previously visited in 1969 with the Queen.
A Clarence House spokeswoman said the Prince had specifically requested he visit the hall, where a cultural performance was held for the royal visitors, because of his earlier trip there.
Joined by the Queen and King of Norway, Charles and Camilla took a walking tour of the historic quayside buildings of Bryggen, a Unesco world heritage site, during the day.

Much of the visit saw Charles taking part in engagements on the water - first on a trawler boat at the Institute for Marine Research, and later on HMS Liverpool where he will meet sailors who have worked with the Norwegian air force in Libya as part of Nato exercises in the region.
The Prince told King Harald and guests at a state dinner held in Oslo last night how much he was looking forward to the visit.

He said: 'I am delighted that HMS Liverpool is deployed here for Exercise Cold Response and that Your Majesty and I will be visiting her tomorrow.'
The royals are set to return to Oslo, where they carried out the first of their engagements on their eight-day tour of Scandinavia, in the evening.
After the Prince of Wales and Camilla's three-day tour in Norway, which includes a visit to the western city of Bergen, they are scheduled to travel to Sweden and Denmark.
It is the couple's first joint visit to Scandinavia.
