Sea

Having the seaside close by is such a luxury. Especially when it has been a warm summer like it was this year and you can actually go swimming in it - which in Denmark is not the case every year. One of the things I like best about going to the beach is the smell. The smell of warmth, sun-lotion and salty water on the skin, it reminds me of all the past summer holidays.

It was great to be able to take Fleur to the beach every day and play in the swallow water and build things in the sand. It made her so tired, that she often fell asleep in her pushchair on the short walk back to the summer house, and I had to carry her inside for her nap.

Rudkøbing

Rudkøbing was the closest city to our location at Tåsinge, and here we also picked up the keys to the summerhouse. Even if the city is small, there was lots of action and people this week (Even if it can't be seen on the pictures). The city was hoasting the yearly Langelandsfestival, so young people and all sorts of funny characters had found their way there.

In the days leading up to the festival, there was live music in front of the local supermarket, so everytime we came to do our grocery shopping, we got greated by the sound of music. This was quite a nice experience and I wonder why not more supermarkets do this kind of thing. It certainly brightens up the dull groceryshopping, with a bit of live music and beer.

Summerhouse

After a couple of days in Hillerød, we continued our holiday in this lovely house at the island Tåsinge south of Fyn. It was nice to get away from everything and enjoy the burned grass on the ground and the warm stillstanding air somewhere close to the sea.

My aunt came to visit for a couple of days and our only plan really was to relax and see what the day brought. It was great that Fleur could just run outside and play ball and look at the wildlife (we had a hare and some birds) without planning to much and packing a bag of food etc.

Whenever I go to a summerhouse, I always dream of getting my own some day. One close to the sea, in wood, with lots of light, a garden full of wild barries and a place to rewind and just think about the most important thing: like, what you next meal should look like.

Tivoli

No summer is a summer without a trip to Tivoli. My love for this place stays eternal and I can always find new things to enjoy when I visit. This year, what I enjoyed most was probably to take Fleur and spend a nice afternoon with her and the grandfathers, take her on the mary go round, and visit their packed playground. And of cause I love all the little details that I forgot was there or experience for the first time.

Ulla's

I recently went to Denmark for a couple of weeks with Fleur to have a bit of Holiday, which is always a nice occasion to see some friends. We visited Ulla and little Harry in their beautiful home in Brønshøj one day. So many nice flea market finds and fun little details everywhere.
