We’ve been pestered for months. And it’s perfectly normal and safe in Denmark to do it. So, today, we relented.

Daisy caught the bus to school by herself.

To us Brits, this is quite a big thing. Aarhus is the second biggest city in Denmark and to get to school Daisy has to catch a bendy bus across town at rush hour.

But Aarhus is also very safe and there are lots of familiar faces on the bus should Daisy need help.

Sarah armed Daisy with a cheap phone so she could confirm where she was.

By the time I’d got to the office, Daisy had reported in and already got caught moaning to friends that mum was checking up on her - by leaving her phone switched on so Sarah could hear a conversation in the background.

Anyway, that’s a milestone and it must give her a tremendous feeling of independence.
