Impromptu Sled Ride

When Marie & I were out on one of our forest walks one day, we came across some kids playing on their sleds on a hill. There was quite enough snow to get a good ride down the hill. I urged Marie to come take a look with me, then said I’d love to have a go at doing it. So, she asked a mother that was there if I could borrow a sled for a ride. The woman agreed. Like a big kid, I grabbed the sled & ran to the top of the hill. It looked a bit steeper from the top. Even though I was a wee bit nervous, I took off on the sled. I was going fast, so put my feet out to slow it down a bit, which resulted in me being covered by snow. It was sooooo much fun!!! Marie took a photo of me with her mobile.

Home Away From Home

As usual, it was lovely & relaxing staying with Marie & Mikael at their place in Espergaerde – a home away from home, not that I have anywhere I could call a home nowadays. Marie & I went for walks in the forest & chatted a lot. She’s so easy to be around – we must have known each other in a past life.

Back Up To Copenhagen

I’d booked a flight to Copenhagen so that I’d stay with friends (Marie & Mikael) during a time that I knew I’d be a bit down. And, besides, I really wanted to see them again before I headed back to Sydney as I may not see them again for a long time.
My arrival in Copenhagen after dark was cool (about minus 6 degrees) & crisp. Thankfully, I only had to catch one train that took me all the way through to Espaergarde. I got to Espaergarde station & was met by Marie – a sight for sore eyes - & we walked back to her house.
