On the Road again...

from Malin to the Foyle Bridge









The Little Explorer


A pretty brook was running at play
With little Jack Frost on a cold winter's day.
It stopped to rest at the foot of a hill
Making a pond all quiet and still.
"Aha!" said Jack Frost, "Now isn't that nice?"
And quickly he turned the water to ice.







Oh the weather outside is frightful....



Surprisingly the buses stopped their service so we had to walk from from town each of the days. I felt like old Bob Scott on an expedition to the North Pole! Knee deep snow is not what I'm used to, but it was amazing to see.


There was no wind so the snow just sat on everything. It had started to weigh down branches until the wind came the following day and drifted it.

Multi-Love

I have a serious obsession with multi shot cameras these days. My Mum picked up some of my Lomo Supersampler pics the other day. "They're all funny", "what do you mean by funny?", "they have those four pictures on everyone again, do you always have to use the four lenses", "yes Mum, that the feature of the camera" "thats a bit rubbish!" Tut tut Mary, its amazing! It's such an old lady thing so say. I love multi shot, it makes everything more fun!


Someone had this on their bike basket in Aarhus.
Hahahahaahahahaha!!!!!!!

The signs were on her from an early age!

Nut Bush City Limits

A bit of a boogie never hurts, but it does the next day when you realise that head-banging is not for 26 year olds! Oh well, you live and learn!x.

In love with Isak!

We love this little ball of fluff! He's gonna come and stay with us in our shoebox on Saturday night. Julie's Mama is also here so its a little bit of a squeeze but will be a bit of craic! I love Greta's little singing as she flips through the magazines. Its like a lullaby! Hehe!

Roll on Saturday, fun and games with Isak!

Halloween

We went to a Halloween party in Vejen, dressed as (not so) scary dolls. It was great fun, we parties with lovely Vejen people and a fluffy dog called Issac that bounced like a little cloud!


Juleol in Knuds (our local)

Juleol was a new experience for me, people dress up and come into the bars and give out a special Christmas beer. I thought us Irish drank loads at Christmas but the Danes go that step further and make special beers.
God Bless em!

The bringer of strong beer



Me, Vic and Maja in our lovely Juleog hats



Lovely Christmas fun!
We have become very house proud, Julie tests out our new sofa. Buying furniture makes you feel extremely mature.

A very Danish Lunch, yum yum!



Rugbrod, the work I cannot say for the life of me!
