Postcards of last 2 weeks

Easter Sunday, and promise of a lovely day so headed over to the West Coast of Jutland just south of Ribe with Helga, Anette & Frede. Sunshine and blue sky! but don't be fooled, it was not warm a cold biting wind kept us moving.



Fætter og Cousin fest on Knud's father's side of the family held in Leck this last weekend. Knud's turn to arrange the getogether and he decided upon Leck because this is where the Sønnichsen family can be traced back to the 1400's .(a rather large family tree) Leck is situated just over the border in Germany and up until 1864 was actually Danish. 20 of us altogether enjoyed a great few days together.
Some of us out for a walk in the forest, freezing cold and wet, but nevertheless enjoyable. As they say in Scandinavia , no such thing as bad weather, just the wrong clothes.

Spring time in Denmark

Arrived ' home' to Haderslev 2 weeks ago just in time for Easter. The early warm weather of spring a mear distant memory as we braced ourselves against the cold winds and driving rain. Lucky to have reached the double digits, mostly hovered around 5° or lower.
everyone decorates their houses with Easter decorations, Denmark it is mostly indoors however in Germany the gardens get decorated as well , saw a rather alarming display just at the border of Denmark and Germany .




What can one say?
