December 17th. Denmark

Our sons loved lego when they were small. They had loads of them!
A few years ago we gave it all away, to grown up friends, Anne Jorunn and Håvard, who are collectors, and as a little thank you, Anne Jorunn carefully picked out a few pieces from when we gave away, and made me a creche.

How cute is that :-)

Denmark and Legoland was the goal fopr several summer vacations when the kids were small.

Denmark is still a country I love to visit, but these days Copenhagen is a natural goal. Especially at this time of the year. Unfortunately I have not been there the last few years, but I do have Tage Andersen and his remarcable flower studio fresh in mind when I start decorating for Advent, continuing into Christmas.

Several Tage Andersen pieces of art have found their way to The House in the Woods, and his book From Advent to Twelfth Night is a December favorite.

Here you can follow me to Tage Andersen´s studio in December 2009

To pamper oneself in Copenhagen

Copenhagen has always been kind of exotic for us Norwegians. Once Kongens By (the King's City) when Norway and Denmark were gathered as one country, now the city has a taste of the big world.

Somehow it is always time for some coffee, or tea if you prefere, and one afternoon has room for visiting several coffee houses.

I fell for Café Antoinette during my last visit. It was quiet there right before closing time, perfect to sit down with my travel diary, writing down memories from hours of walking around.
