Day 17 - Vacation in Viby!

Horray - we're still at Maggie's and we have the day off!

                                                                        Me and Frida
We did have a few things to do though....

  • We walked Frida the dog (a sweet chocolate labrador) and on the way met Marianne, Maggie's neighbour and her dog. She took us through the woods which was beautiful - it was good to have a guide with us or we would've got lost!
  • I picked some litle paradise apples (a bit like red crab apples) from the garden for Maggie to use later to make paradise apple jelly...mmmmmmm. She is going to write a book of chutney recipes one day - I think it may be a  best seller!
  • We went to the shops in Viby (pronounced Vee-buuh) and marvelled at the selection of English goods on sale in the posh supermarket - HP sauce, Yorkshire Tea (I resisted as the box was enourmous and expensive), Walkers crisps, Marmite etc etc. The men working in the shop were laughing at me laughing at the display...We bought some food for the evening dinner and went to the most amazing charity shop and bought a pair of jeans each to wear in Copenhagen - pah!
  • We also spent a considerable amount of time drinking tea, listening to Danish radio, and making curries for dinner and BLOGGING.
  • Later on, Maggie's lovely daughter Lea and her boyfriend Michaelcame over and we all ate together (some choosing the left over lasagne over our veggie curry!). Lea and Michael are both techno-wizards and manged to sort out our stupid camera so we should hvae more photos from now on (can't upload any here though) - thanks you two!
A relaxing day in a beautiful spot with lovely lovely people.

4 miles in to Viby and back on our bikes!

  1. Choosing leftovers over your culinary efforts? Heathens! Glad to hear things are no longer exhausting and upsetting though! x
