There has been a huge gap in the blog of late, so I hope those of you who are regular readers aren’t thinking it’s gone for a Burton.

The thing is, we’ve been pretty busy.

We’ve had a steady stream of guests from the UK, both friends and family. And in between the visits we’ve been getting more integrated out here.

Daisy now has friends over to stay the weekend, I have a new office and Sarah is launching a new version of her business in the UK.

But the biggest thing that has happened is the change in weather.

Suddenly, a few weeks ago, someone on high hit the warm switch.

Every morning for as long as we can remember, we are greeted with blistering sunshine coming through our bedroom blinds.

And, after days of wall to wall sunshine, sunset seems to be close to eleven.

The transformation this makes in Denmark was something that we’d heard about but never properly understood.

Every street becomes a place to eat al fresco, listen to live music or hang out on a doorstep.

It was already the City Of Smiles but rapidly became the City Of Broad Grins.

The Danes worship the sun and never take a single ray for granted.

You walk past a department store and there’ll be some twenty year old girl pressed against the wall as if she’s lying on a sun lounger.

The beach at Risskov was full of bodies, where before it was a place to walk uninterrupted.

The barbecues are working overtime and those disgusting pretend sausages they eat over here are being bought in big bags from supermarkets.

We feel like we are living in a holiday resort. Even better than we thought it would be here.

There’ll be another couple of posts very soon showing you what we’ve been getting up to.

The last couple of weeks have been the best yet. We absolutely love it here.
