Orla and Birthe dropped me off at 8 PM in Vejle. I'm off to Aarhus to spend one night and then catch a flight to Madrid tomorrow morning. The hostel was nice enough but I arrived at nearly 10PM so there was not much to see. I am going to be up early tomorrow and taking a bus to Thylstrup to catch my flight at 10AM. (Sept 1) A flight to Stansted airport with a 7 hour layover before my flight to Madrid. I wanted to check my bags for the 7 hours but it was going...

Monday morning saw me off to Copenhagen for a few days with one of Mom's oldest friends. Anni and Mom met in Edinburgh. Mom and Anni became friends and when Anni went back to Copenhagen in the mid sixties Mom went with her. Mom lived for two years in Copenhagen. Hence why Mom knew Danish before she ever met Dad! Mom and Dad actually met in Toronto. Go figure. Anni met me at the bus stop and it was sure great to see her. The last time I saw Anni was for Mo...

So a busy couple of weeks is coming up. Today was not so busy. Orla, Birthe and I went to pick plums to can for the winter. The plum picking was much easier than I expected.

All in all a very relaxing day before heading to Skagen tomorrow. (Aug 17) Travel day to Skagen, the most northern point of Denmark where...

Chris' daughter-in-law, Moire dropped me off at the airport this morning as Chris had a long standing hair appointment that she could not miss. Chris I totally understand. I need to see my hairdresser soon! The flight from Edinburgh to Billund Denmark took just over an hour. It was great to arrive and have family meeting me there. Orla and Birthe (my aunt and u...

I did get sunshine for my trip to Speyside in Northern Scotland. Thanks for sending that to me. The actual trip to Dufftown was a BIG challenge as the tourist office in Edinburgh sent me to a small train station where there was supposedly a bus to Dufftown. Oops the bus to Dufftown only runs on school days and right now all the kids are on school holidays. I had to then take a bus to Elgin 30 minutes north and then a bus to Dufftown 30 minutes south. Yes it ...
