St Giles’ Cathedral in Edinburgh
Imagine to walk in the places where people have gathered for nearly a thousand years and think about the ways they created these big masterpieces of architecture
Old English Prams
Twice I have been at the Royal Library in Copenhagen to scan the old catalogs from different Danish pram firms from the last century. It’s been so interesting to see the many firms competing on making the most beautiful models. I am sure that those who did the original ones must have been frustrated many times as their models were […]
Life is a Roller-Coaster
#WeekendCoffeeShare If we were having coffee I would tell you that this week for me has contained ups and down even during 24 hours of the same day. As a Christian, I know that I shouldn’t be so affected by outer circumstances but I am who I am and I am and not yet able to say that I […]
New Connections
Among the thousands of bloggers in the blogroll you will suddenly find someone who shares some of your own interests. That is a golden moment.
Hidden Gems in Edinburgh
For a long time I have wished to go to Edinburgh and then we did this summer. As so often I don’t prepare too well in advance, but I knew that there would be a lot of old medieval buildings and narrow streets. Waiting for our plane at the Copenhagen airport a young man with kilt came form the arriving […]
Paula’s Book Release
One of the exciting things about blogging is the sudden windows into other people’s lives and backgrounds far away from yourself.

Her father was a great builder of Seattle, and he died when Paula was […]
An American seeking her Danish Roots
Leah is a self-employed, hard-working winemaker from Oregon at the west coast of the United States. Last spring she and my husband Henry had found each other at “My Heritage”, and both were very excited to find out that they shared the same great-grandfather. His son immigrated to Iowa in 1893. This farm day worker travelled out in the unknown […]
Botticelli Reimagined at the V&A
#WeekendCoffeeShare at Diana’ new blog space Part Time Monster If we were having coffee I would tell you that I got inspired to write this post because I found extra postcards form the V&A museum that I gave to a an American guest who came to us this week. She shares the same great grand father as my husband and […]
Vintage Prams From Copenhagen in the 1930s
Looking back 60-80 years at families with small children in the streets of Copenhagen
The D-Day and Bayeux
For my whole life, I have been very grateful for the superhuman and brave deed of the invasion troops at the Normandy’s coast 6 June 1944, a joint action by the Allied Forces to stop Hitler’s atrocities against Jews and his occupations of many countries during WWII. In April 2009 my husband and I took part in a historical military tour. […]
