Going out for my running routine is sometimes hard, but I do it anyway. I chose another route just to variate a bit. After two kilometers I saw a lot of ripe raspberries. I paused to pick a few and to document with a picture. My phone then”told” me that the storing was full which meant I can’t take more […]
Today my husband and I went out to find blueberries and we were not disappointed. We had to stop when our bowls were filled to the brim. Do you have wild blueberries now where you live? PS a few days after this first “harvest” of wild blue berries we went out again and this time we got as many as […]
A Danish psalm is called something like the title of this blog post. In 1914 the father of Rued Langgaard died when Rued was 20 years old. The young man was a gifted musician and played variations over that psalm (“Mig Hjertelig Længes” in Danish) at the father’s funeral at Frederiksberg Church close to Copenhagen.

My whole life I have been fascinated by the designs of these useful things from especially the forties and the fifties. In my research I was lucky to find a few catalogues […]
The third largest city in Denmark is called Aalborg and it is in the north of Jutland, the part of Denmark connected to Germany. Its two hours’ drive from my place so I don’t go there so often. The other day we went to a concert in their new concert hall called the House of Music at the harbor. […]
