40 years old....

Kristian´s old school had a 40th anniversary yesterday. He, his mum and all his brothers and sisters travelled back to the Island of Fyn to be at the celebrations.


Kristian´s dad started the school 40 years ago. He felt that God wanted him to start this Christian school. A school were you would be allowed to pray and teach about God, a school built on Christian values. What he started back then has grown and is still going strong today. 



Above is what the school looked like when Johs started with just a handful of students. 


Above is the school today.

They had a great evening together. Since Kristian was already half way over to Sara he decided he would go and visit her and spend the weekend. Her Christian is racing and so they will go to the track and watch him race. A perfect weekend for the both of them!! 

Meanwhile I hope to get some painting done this weekend....:-) A perfect weekend for me! :-)

Night out...

....with me good chum, Laura.

This evening (Wednesday) Laura and I headed to the local cinema. I had gotten tickets for the film "Before Midnight"  I had seen the first two films "Before Sunrise" and "Before Sunset" (can´t remember the order!) and I enjoyed them soooo much so I was looking forward to this one.

It wasn´t how I expected it to be, but I wasn´t disappointed. I really enjoyed it. Laura did too. So all in all a good night out! Nice to do something different in the middle of the week!

Monday evening and there was drama on our road. We get a lot of bikers coming through our area. They are serious bikers with expensive bikes and gear. They ride at top speed and as one of the bikers passed our house a cat ran out and the biker hit him!!! Thankfully it wasn´t our Shadow but it was our neighbours cat, Charlie. A beautiful orange cat! The biker tried to brake but ended up going over the handle bars, he and his bike were not in good shape. The cat was also not looking so good. Some of our neighours got the man and his bike sorted out and took him home. The owners of the cat were also out trying to rescue the cat, who had crawled into hiding. Awful thing to happen and Andrew saw it all, as he was out chatting on the phone with Camilla. That conversation was cut short!!! There is never a dull moment out here!!

Not doing good......

.......at this blogging stuff.

Another week has gone by without a word from me!! It is just getting too easy for me to be lazy!

So a quick update....

Last week everyone started back again to work and school. Leah started a new school and was a bit nervous about it, but she had a great time last week getting to know her new teachers and class mates. There are only 2 other girls in her class but so far all 3 of them have hit it off. 

She will be at this school for a year with a focus on drama and music.






Friday our neice Christine got baptised. She had been in the USA for a few months and while there had a real encounter with God, so she wanted to confirm her faith in Jesus through being baptised. 

It was held in Kristian´s brother´s house, with his older brother baptising her.  It was a really special service and when it was finished the family spent the rest of the afternoon and evening together.


Love is still in the air between Andrew and Camilla. However Leah and her boyfriend are now over.


Sara and Christian arrived home for the weekend. They were going to the baptism too and then they spent the rest of the weekend with us. It was lovely seeing them again.

We mostly relaxed, went a walk down to the lake and went to check out the drive-in cinema close to us. It was also perfect weather for a BBQ.

I´m back!!!!

I have been a bit quiet on the blog for the last week but now I am back again!! 

I am also back at work. I started on Wednesday and it is actually good to be back again, although I must say, I am thankful that it´s the weekend again! It is hard getting back into the routine of getting up early and going to bed early too.

So the last week of my holidays went by fast....

We slept in a tent in the garden, something we have never been able to do before, when we lived in the apartment. Leah and Mia slept a few evenings in there then Laura and I also had our turn. It was so cosy. I couldn´t get Kristian out there though, after a week in a tent at Le Mann in France, he had had enough!



Hubby and I also had quite a few dates over the week, while Leah was at work! 

 We loved walking around the castle grounds! So beautiful, we actually went on a lot of evening walks throughout the week...


We also celebrated Andrew´s 20th birthday! I can´t believe he is 20!! (and still soooo in love!)





We celebrated by going on a picnic to a beautiful forest which also has an amusement park on the outskirts of it. They had a great day on the rides and I enjoyed sitting in the sun in the forest reading my books. We ended the evening by eating at one of Andrew´s favourite restaurants, The Mexican!
