In The Past, And Now
The older I get, the more I think about my childhood and youth. Comparing my life with the lives of modern-day children, I see that life has changed for the worse.
Fifth of May, The Danish Day of Freedom
Henry and I want to honour our fallen WWII heroes by visiting their graves and memorials
Our New Hospital from Outside
Being close to our new hospital doesn’t seem flattering as it seems dark. From further away, it looks a lot lighter. Not having any proper photos of the hospital I have praised so much finally let me climb some hills to get an appropriate view. The photos are all from a few days after my broken arm incident in June. […]
Johannes Larsen, the Danish Bird Painter
Johannes Larsen (born 1867- 1961) was a Danish painter specialising in painting birds. He was born and died in the small coastal town of Kerteminde on the island of Funen. Recently, my husband and I drove two hours to visit this lovely place with a museum and the painter’s home and garden. We have an artist friend, Simon Bang from […]
A Paradise for Chamber Music Festivals
This summer has been almost back to normal. We have shadows hanging over us with pricing going up on food and gas and our farmers in danger of losing their livelihood
Hans Christian Andersen’s Museum in Odense, Denmark
If you were unaware of Hans Christian Andersen's life and work you would not be much wiser after visiting his museum
The Island of Møn
As a child in the 1951s, my parents twice rented modest places at Møn for our summer holidays. At the time, we would never know in advance what to expect.

A Small Art Museum in Copenhagen
Visiting an art museum made me think about our way of viewing sick children then and now and how we now ought to rethink ways of recovering from fresh air and sunshine, among other natural cures
From before Covid
This photo was taken in March 2019; who would have thought that one year later, our world had changed in a way we who are alive now have never witnessed. The photo shows an everyday situation here in Denmark. Since the 1980s, new mothers have gathered in groups according to the time of their newborn’s birth. They meet privately at […]
Autumn Pictures from Aarhus
Aarhus is the second-largest city in Denmark and only one hour’s drive from us. Whenever we go there, my husband is reminded of his time as a soldier in his youth. Standing on his post in front of the clock on the City Hall, time was put on a standstill, especially during the hours before dawn. Where the former barrack once was is now a music hall and a renowned art museum called ARoS Fifty years ago, my brother and I went for a holiday in Aarhus. He took a picture of me at the site of the pig sculpture. I remember I found it a bit ridiculous. It’s strange how some things get stuck into your memory forever.
