May I ask, how did you learn Danish -I have tried Duolingo app on my phone to work on my French but get distracted and then have to begin again!! Do you recommend a native speaker? Perhaps it helps to have a good friend in Denmark like yours to help out-you are a lucky gal! Big holiday to start our week here in the States :) hope you have a great week there and that your lovely warm weather returns!

Can only think that your UFFDA can be "ofte" like our often, frequently etc. Most thorough to learn a language before travelling. I try to learn a few words, feel I engage more with the holiday.thepoutingpensionerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13484934089759704702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3385292529998118275.post-79534199815449527412017-07-01T14:06:48.066+01:002017-07-01T14:06:48.066+01:00Ah,yes the Guernsey recently made famous with a bo...Ah,yes the Guernsey recently made famous with a book -"Guernsey Potato Peel Society" or something? No insults intended if I have completely mangled that title! I grew up in the Midwest of the US and there were Guernsey cattle on many of the farms...originally from your part of the world then?? The posts of your Danish food are so tempting! I grew up eating this style of sandwich-my mom called them "open-faced"- must try them again and definitely when I get to Denmark. Thank you for showing them off! One Danish word I heard often and sometimes still utter is "UFFDA"! Hoping to enlarge my vocabulary soon. Hubby and I took Gaelic lessons when we traveled to Ireland and Scotland in the 1990's and that was fun-not using it much since!! Have a lovely day-thanks for your time spent chatting with me:) Juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12277935750098335984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3385292529998118275.post-52816366003550664322017-06-30T16:09:42.727+01:002017-06-30T16:09:42.727+01:00Hi Chrissy, welcome to my blog.

I push my "Viking-ness" on my husband and son (mmmm, pickled herring!) but they aren't always willing to try things,SIGH. I remember tak for mad (in my head it's taak fuh my, is that close?) when my Danish relatives would gather for our family reunions! Thanks for thinking to include a few Danish words, I will be so thrilled :) Just wanted to say again how much I have enjoyed all of the other posts-your outfits, your beautiful area of the world-is it England or Wales? I am a latecomer so don't know your whole story, just tagging along for the laughs!

It's always the same, eh, all the questions we needed to ask come after our loved ones have sadly gone. <br />I'm not familiar with your family's area of Denmark, though I do know Sjaelland well, where Copenhagen is situated. <br />It's lovely to hear the family kept their ways and food loves. Have you read my series of Danish Food ... My Way? We had kartoffelmad earlier this week, yummy. <br />I will try to remember to drop in Danish words for you now and then. I usually finish off my Danish food post with "velbekomme" = bon appetite (nothing really in English similar). Our grandchildren say "Tak for mad" (thanks for the food) before they leave our table. And "kram" = hugs!thepoutingpensionerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13484934089759704702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3385292529998118275.post-77797955406827854542017-06-28T16:21:02.956+01:002017-06-28T16:21:02.956+01:00How fun to hear back from you Penshioner-thank you...How fun to hear back from you Penshioner-thank you for your time! I have read your Denmark specific posts again and again-- they are so wonderful. I especially enjoyed seeing the Moens Klint photos. Oddly enough, my mom (1/2 Danish) gave me a carved wooden string holder with the words "MOENS KLINT" on it...supposedly a trip taken by my full Danish grandmother many years ago.<br />Sadly we lost her some years ago so I didn't know more details UNTIL I saw your post. Have added that site to my must see list! I think I need a month in Denmark to see everything :) I believe that my family came from an area that was held by Denmark and then held by Germany for some of its history...Schleswig-Holstein ?? I think it is in the area where Denmark and Germany meet. No, I speak no Danish, again wish we had Grandma to help out:( I know the names of food (haha) and celebrated most Christmases of my childhood with many Danish traditions. Teach me "knus" please....thanks again for a great blog-it's hot again today but down to 108 degrees that's about 42 C I guess! have a lovely day!Juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12277935750098335984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3385292529998118275.post-15664574262323368952017-06-27T23:10:53.939+01:002017-06-27T23:10:53.939+01:00Such a sweet comment, thanks so much, Laurie.

So please...Hi Jules and welcome to my humble blog. So pleased you've found me! Oh I cannot imagine what your heat must be like. I visited friends of the family in Phoenix in 2008 and it was hot, and it was only February!!! I think that was just about right for me, I can't take intense heat any more.<br />Now I am so thrilled to fuel any dreams that you want about Denmark. It is my spiritual home but obviously something more tangible for you. Did you catch my posts I wrote on Denmark last year, would have been June/July. Just search Denmark in the box on the right of my page. Can I ask where your ancestors come from? Do you speak Danish? Looking forward to hearing from you again.
