After what feels like months, but turns out was only three weeks, I finally remembered I'm supposed to be updating this thing. I'd like to pretend my absence was due to our very exciting expat life, but in reality I just keep getting more and more spurious injuries that have led to some very boring and inactive … Continue reading Tilbage i aktion

Spise godt
We have had a few really lovely culinary experiences in the last few weeks, making the most of Denmark's thriving food scene. A few weekends ago we went to Stedsans ØsterGRO, which as per their website is 'a restaurant placed in the greenhouse of Scandinavia's first rooftop farm'. Of course Copenhagen has a rooftop community garden, and of … Continue reading Spise godt
Jeg hjerte hjorte
I'm going to dwell on past adventures again in this post. A few weekends back, during the week-long 'summer', we rode our bikes up the coast. Our plan was to stop at various swimming piers along the way before eventually ending up at Dyrehaven. We kicked off proceedings with a quick swim at Svanemøllen pier, before riding … Continue reading Jeg hjerte hjorte
Når solen skinner
I've mysteriously busted my ankle sometime in the last few weeks, so I've been stuck in the house more than I'd like lately. On the plus side, there is no better time to be on forced bed-rest than when the Olympics are on. I'm doing some high level multitasking right now - writing this post while … Continue reading Når solen skinner
Jægersborg Dyrehave
Onwards to part two of our day of hire-bike adventures (we really did a lot that day - no wonder we all woke up feeling like a truck had hit us). Ordrupgaard conveniently sits just below Jægersborg Dyrehave, a mad deer park that is home to over 2,000 deer. It was a beautiful afternoon to be careering around Dyrehaven, and … Continue reading Jægersborg Dyrehave
Op til Ordrupgaard
The festival of Anna and Steve continues in this post - we must have packed a lot into a week, because it's making me exhausted just writing about it. No trip to Copenhagen would be complete without hooning around the place on bikes. With one day left of forecast sunshine (or at least not rain), we grabbed some … Continue reading Op til Ordrupgaard
Første dage i københavn
Visitor season is well and truly underway! Last week my lillesøster and her kæreste took some time out of their busy schedule of Oxford balls and lazing by Spanish pools to come get some free accommodation see us because they are missing us terribly. These guys were in town for a whole week, and had already been to Copenhagen a few years … Continue reading Første dage i københavn
Kastrup Søbad
A few weeks ago we biked south east to Amager Strand to check out some more swimming options. It's a bit depressing going over these photos, because it hasn't exactly been swimming weather in the last few weeks, but who knows - maybe this post will shame the Danish summer into making another half-hearted appearance. Amager is a reasonably … Continue reading Kastrup Søbad
Nogle kulturelle arrangementer
The last few weeks have brought with them a few interesting seasonal events. June 23, the night before midsummer, is celebrated here as Sankt Hans Aften (St John's Eve). It falls around the solstice, so it's a good excuse to be out celebrating while the days are longest, ahead of the slow descent back into winter darkness. Usually … Continue reading Nogle kulturelle arrangementer
Tilbage i Danmark
Now that we are back in Copenhagen, it's time to start properly enjoying our first Danish summer. I can't express how much I love the long days, if only because it lets us gloss over the fact we still have no electric light in half our rooms. At the moment there is still sun on the horizon up … Continue reading Tilbage i Danmark
