I have had a lovely afternoon in Copenhagen. I had tarte de fraise & crème vanillé + green tea and Bakhtin at Café Norden - I wandered in the sunny, windy streets of centre ville (finally trying my new shades from Cph November) and spent an hour or so with my personal underwear consultant - that helped me find the perfect bikinis this summer. I just have to recommend her; go to Illums - Wunderwear's department on the 3rd floor - and even shopping (that I normally quite hate (except for yarn and books) (and wine and good food)) turns out to be fun and relaxing.
When I arrived at the hotel my wilan worked perfectly; now it doesn't - so you might have to wait a wee bit for pictures - but they'll come.

my time






needy knitting
winter storm


Having enjoyed fall - fall - spring - summer (for the first 4 days) - fall came back and transformed to winter lasting the rest of the week. Good for us, then, that muffins taste superbly with hot mexican chocolate in front of the fire place with the wind howling around the cottage and waves hitting the windows with salty, salty water. (ps. this last shot really demonstrates how the cottage is literally situated on the beach!! - there is terrace, a stripe of lawn, picket fence and beach. the pic is taken from the living room!)
so many things to do!
The kids really enjoyed themselves - and 7 days took off faster than imaginable - as always. Our spot is an eldorado for children - for climibing, hide and seek, sand castles, treasure hunts, knitting and other fun things - and we had it almost to ourselves, since it's normally more of a summer phenomenon than a February one.

school's out!


- so we're heading for a cottage on a beach - me and 6 kids - for a week - with my books and good food and no internet connection. I count on reading, writing and relaxing - between walks on the beach and good food and a bit of wine.
We just had home made scones for breakfast (someone in this house is lucky enough to have breakfast served in bed around 10-11ish every Saturday and Sunday if he wants). C U in a week!
