Amy and Danny....

Since Wednesday afternoon we have had two guests staying with us from Ireland - Amy and Danny.

Amy we have known since she was about 3 years old. We became friends with her parents while at a family camp at Capernwray Hall in England and we have been friends ever since. That´s about 17 years!! Danny we have only just got to know. He is Amy´s boyfriend and he is absolutely lovely.


So basically Amy and Danny have been looking after themselves while we have been at work. Thursday and Friday they spent in Copenhagen but today we had a chance to do something with them. So I had a plan....


It started with them visiting our wee town for an hour. Then it was off to see Hillerød and do a little shopping. We had lunch at a lovely Italian restaurant. After lunch we headed off to see the Queen`s Summer Castle in Fredensborg.

We made a wee stop at Esrum lake as well.

We decided to head further north and ended up at Gilleleje, a beautiful, cosy seaside town. We walked down to the beach, around the harbour and ended off with a huge ice cream, even though we ordered the smallest!

Gilleleje town did a lot for the Jews during World War II. They helped to hide Jews all over the town and sailed them out in small fishing boats to Sweden. We went to see one of these small boats and could see how they would have hidden them. 

It was then off to our favourite spot - Heather Hill. The weather was fantastic and it was just so wonderful to be out in the nature again. 

It was then home to relax, eat a delicious Mexican meal and enjoy some Miranda on TV. It has been really great having them and I so enjoyed my day out.  I really have to take time off just to enjoy the country side around me. Today I was reminded of that! 


Now it´s time to get to sleep. I have a 5am rise in the morning to take these young people back to the airport so they can head back to their life in Ireland!
