Easter 2014

Lots of chocolate, great food, fabulous weather and good friends was a great recipe for a wonderful Easter!

Love is all around

Valentine's day is not something we normally celebrate, until when a few years ago Ophelia began to write us cards and give us little love notes on the day. We then decided to have a Valentine celebration each year as a family! Last year the kids and I were in Denmark on the 14th but we left a basket behind full of chocolates, heart-shaped love notes and beers to 'Daddy' - But this year we were all home and had time to prepare lots of valentine surprises for Alistair when he got back from work.
We baked pink meringue love cookies, chocolate brownies with raspberries and blew up red heart shaped balloons. 
We had a lovely evening together as a family around the dinner table and like a teenage disco, we ended the evening by dancing around in each others arms. It really was our own little Valentine's ball.

Sunday activities

Making aeroplanes out of paper rolls and drawing pictures equals a perfect relaxed Sunday at home...

Snowy Sunday and a visit to the pub

Welcome to the world lil' darling.

Egeskov Castle, Denmark

Our summer holiday in Denmark all ready seems a distant memory. But to remind our self about the great time we had I would like to share a few more pictures with you. 
This post is about our day trip to Funen (Native name Fyn) which is the 3rd largest island in Denmark, in fact there are approximately 406 of them!

We packed the car with happy kids and a bulging picnic hamper. The sun was out and the spirit high.

We arrived at Egeskov Castle early afternoon and went to explore the place. It is a great place for the whole family, young and old. The Castle is surrounded by water and beautiful parks. You will find the worlds largest Kompan playground, picnic areas, a Maze, a tree top walk (to high up for me) various museums, secret gardens, ice cream bars and lots of space to run free and hide.

I think the pictures sum it all up, enjoy
