d for danish

We felt that a trip to Copenhagen was necessary so four feet stepped onto a train in one country and rested for a short while and stepped off again in another. We wandered in the cold for not too long then took shelter in an art gallery where our eyes were subject to all kinds of weird and wonderful. Extremely weird and incredibly wonderful. 
Salads and breads and Danish pastry filled our bellies before we ambled the High Street until the moon came out of hiding. 














I was just as confused/disgusted/nauseated as you are.















80KR equals 8pounds equals 12dollars. ish. 




malmö

In the weeks leading up to our departure from the South of Sweden we went on wee adventures here and there. This one was to Malmö, a small city not too far from Lund. It was freezing. So freezing in fact that the water in the fountain in the centre of town was frozen mid fall. Never before had I seen such a thing nor been so blown away by what the cold can do. I must admit I was fearful the same would happen to my hair on account of I had made the mistake of not drying it before we left the house. Thankfully my hair remained as it was.

hello sunshine, come into my life

And please stay for a while, for ever.




in the quivering forest

Twas ever so sunny yesterday morning. My Swede, Pappa Swede and I went down to the forest. We went our separate ways. Mathias ran, Pappa Swede walked at a steady pace and I ambled peacefully at the pace of a snail on a Sunday. It was a treat. Everything was sprinkled with snowflakes. I took photographs of what my eyes beheld and marvelled at the beauty of it all. I saw pie cones floating in frozen puddles and puddles that had been shattered by my feet and by others. I saw snow capped mushrooms and sprouting stems trying their very best to reach the sunlight that was slipping through silhouettes that were standing tall. Taller than the trolls that I'm sure were hiding in the shadows, watching my every move. And the ghosts of Vikings passed whose ships once sailed in the sea I saw just beyond the trees I'm sure were doing the same...
