A little culture.....

Today we went to Copenhagen with our good friends Laura, Pernille and Thomas. We started with lunch at a restaurant called RizRaz, it was sooo delicious. After lunch we headed over to one of the local churches where there was going to be a Jazz church service.


It was a beautiful old church and there were some well known jazz musicans playing and singing at the service. It was a really lovely service. Kristian loves jazz so he was in his element especially with all the saxophone music that there was.

 A beautiful tree stood in the hallway....a real work of art.

 After the service we had a short walk through Copenhagen before we all headed home again.

This evening Lasse came to visit and stayed for dinner.

Yesterday we had a relaxing day at home. The cats were relaxing too. Although it was relaxing we still did work around the house. Kristian spent the morning cutting the grass around the place, I decided to weed out the weeds that were growing up between the tiles outside.



In the afternoon my neighbour Laura came over to introduce me to a girl who is visiting one of our neighbours for a month or so. She was lovely and we spent some time chatting before we all decided to go for a bike ride. Laura had an old bike that our visitor could use and so we decided we would show her how to get to some of the lakes and beauty spots around here.

We ended the bike ride in Pernille and Thomas´s garden were we were served delicious cold Elderflower juice 

 We have had an invasion of slugs. They were starting to eat my plants so we googled to see how we could get rid of them. The answer was, wait for it......beer!!!

We thought we would give it a try, so we bought a cheap bear, dug a hole, put a container in the hole and filled it with beer. Those slugs sure loved that beer. The word was out in the slug world - that Kristian had the best beer in our wee village!! They were coming out from everywhere and they all were heading to that one spot. haha

Before long those slugs were gone. The container was filled with a huge amount of slugs!! It was sooo gross. Thank goodness I didn´t have to empty it!!! Poor Kristian, it was a dirty job, which he had to do!


After a productive day in the garden we invited our neighbours Pernille and Thomas over for some cake and coffee. We had such a lovely evening together with them and before we knew it, it was way after midnight!!

It has been a lovely weekend and the best thing is that my hubby is now off work!!
