We've just returned from three weeks in Tuscany, where my parents had invited us to spend the summer holiday with them in their house in a tiny village called Pieve Pontenano in the mountains less than 100 km south-east of Florence.The weather was quite pleasant most of the time, with temperatures around 30 degrees in the shade (the main exception...

Before we embarked on our epic journey of England, we were a tiny bit concerned whether Amaia at six months was too young to cope with the travails of camping.She loved it, however! (Except that she thought we travelled too far between campsites.)As the photo shows, she enjoyed playing with the lantern. She also enjoyed sleeping with her mum and...

Min søster og hendes mand, deres datter og hans to sønner besøgte os her i weekenden for første gang nogensinde. D.v.s., de besøgte mig alle for fem år siden, da jeg stadig var single og Ursula ikke var født endnu, og de besøgte os uden Felix og Theodor for 3½ år siden, men det var altså første gang, de alle fem besøgte os alle syv.
Det var meget hyggeligt!
De var her i tre døgn, fra fredag til mandag, og vi spiste traditionel skotsk mad og gik tur ved Loch Lomond.
De fire små legede utroligt godt sammen, og Léon og Anna blev bedre og bedre til at tale dansk til Ursula. Marcel og Charlotte var vist lidt overraskede over, hvor store Felix og Theodor var blevet, og omvendt!
Vi håber, de snart kommer igen.

I think I mentioned that we spent last week in Keith with the rest of Phyllis' family. We drove up to our holiday home via Pitlochry, but we returned via Urquhart Castle and Glencoe (see the map on the left).The idea was to have a quick look at Urquhart Castle during our lunch break.However, when we got there, we realised...

Marcel, Charlotte and I left Phyllis and the wee ones on the sandy beach in Lyme Regis and walked over to the Jurassic cliffs on Manmouth Beach.We had heard it was a good place to find ammonites, so I was...
