Well, I've finally returned to Denmark after my extended stay in Ontario. It was a wonderful vacation full of tosses and turns, highs and lows and new discoveries. The last weekend I was there was really wacky tobaccy. A $100,000 dollar jewel heist took place, a fatal stabbing and a car accident all happened in one weekend. Bizarre, as it usually is very tranquil and quiet in Prince Edward County. ...

It's funny how a sometimes uneventful day on vacation can turn into something rather exciting. I started out the day as per usual by waking up, checking my mail and then hey ya, I watched the Tyra Banks Show. I've not seen her program aired before in Denmark so it was something new and exciting. Then I took my already blistered feet for a forty five minute walk to my ...

I'm sailing away in Waupoos the area where I grew up, sailing around in a dingy as I did in my youth but this time amongst the luxury yachts. I've been here for all of July and have been bird watching, playing with the community dog and sun bathing, thus the blogless month.

Waupoos, for those of you who don't know is a growing wine region in Prince Edward County, Ontario. ...

Well, we returned home on Tuesday from our trip to Phuket, Thailand. As expected, it was a pretty awful flight. As I mentioned in an earlier blog we were all crammed into a small plane with little space to move. Not acceptable, as far as I'm concerned for such a long flight as the result is irritated customers and a lightning rod for flaring tempers.

To add insult to injury, as ...

This will be a quick blog as I'm running out of internet time. It seems to me that our vacation in Phuket, Thailand has just zoomed by. Time flies when you're having fun, I guess. We've not had as much luck with the weather as we did last year. It has been sunny an average of two hours a day and some days it has rained the entire time. I can't ...

But I do know when I'll be back again and that will be in about two weeks. I've just finished packing, arranging, unpacking and then packing again. I always have too many sweaters with, a real necessity in smouldering 32 Celsius (90 degree Fahrenheit) weather. I guess one could say that I'm not a very ...

"It is a beautiful day in the neighbourhood," as Mr. Rogers, the host of a popular children's program, used to say. Sunny skies, green grass, fresh air and birds singing their merry little tunes. What more could a person ask for? I actually ventured outside today in a t-shirt, sandals and no socks, oh the risk-factor of it all. It was only as far as the mailbox, though, a mere ...

Well, I have started to pack for my trip to Thailand. You see, I have faith in the Canadian Embassy and feel in my heart of hearts that my passport problems will be sorted out. All documents and photos will be accepted and completed on time and all will be well in the world again. Next time, I'll start the process much earlier, many, many months ahead of schedule although I don't ...

Before it is over, I thought I'd post something about Copenhagen Fashion Weekend, yes "weekend" not "week." It started today the 6th of February and runs until the 10th of February which will be Sunday.

Visit the Magasin Design Lab in the City Square in Copenhagen. 300 free tickets are being given away starting today in Magasin's Fashion Week Lounge so it's first come, first serve, all for one and one for all.

Don't ...

About a year ago, around this time, the infamous ”Ungdomshus” on Jagtvej 69 in Copenhagen was demolished. To make a long story short, the “Ungdomshus” or “Youth Centre” as it’s known, was a haven for outcasts, lost souls and creative sorts looking for a place to hang their hat.

They lived for many years in a house owned by the City of Copenhagen, virtually rule and rent free. The idea that ...
