Midsummer-celebration¤¤¤SOMMERFEST


Last tuesday it finally was Sankt Hans - our midsummer-celebration here in Denmark!

LETZTEN DIENSTAG WAS HIER SANKT HANS - DAS MITTSOMMERFEST!


I had spent most of the day preparing food, which you can see here; I'm about to unpack lots and lots of different sallads, desserts, dressings and of course more sausages than we could eat for the barbecue!

WIR SIND NACH MARIENLYST GEFAHREN.


This picture shows an old couple strolling along the beach, but I took it because it reminds me of one of Krøyer's paintings from Skagen-beach...

DORT MACHTEN WIR EIN GROSSES BARBECUE.


The were many, many people on that beach that night, it must have been thousands, but the beach is so long, that it still seemed quite relaxed and not crowded, even though there must have been a fire every 100 metres...

ICH HATTE UNHEIMLICH VIELE SALATE UND DESSERTS GEMACHT...


As you can see, it isn't really that hot here... I am wearing a very thick ski-vest under the arctic jacket and underneath that 3 other layers... still the water was nice and warm... - well everything is relative, isn't it?!

DANN ENDLICH WURDEN DIE GR. FEUER ENTZÜNDET!


These fires aren't all that small... and even though I am quite familiar with fire and do not mind touching flames etc. the heat that it was generating was enormous! You couldn't really get all too close, before you would get the feeling as if it was peeling off your skin... anyway, it was nice and warm on a chilly scandinavian summer's night!

WIR HABEN GESUNGEN UND GEFUTTERT...


They have now finally lit the bonfire behind us. But we're still not done cooking... and eating...

UND DAS FEUER WAR SEHR GROSS UND HEISS...


As you can see in the background, there are many more bonfires in the distance... in every direction!

UND ES GABE SEHR VIELE DAVON AM GRANZEN STRAND...
VIELE LEUTE AUCH... ABVER DIE VERTEILTEN SICH DÜNN...


After the barbecue and the songs that people sung by the fire - the spirit was really lovely, everybody was smiling and saying hello, people felt very close to each other and it was a very peaceful get-together, in spite of everybody being strangers...

DIE GUTE STIMMUNG SETZTE SICH IN DER STADT FORT...


Anyway... after having stuffed ourselves we hit the town - Marielyst by night!

WO WIR DANN NOCH MUSIK HÖRTEN...


there was nice life entertainment and I bought a BIG ice-cream for each of the guys... we've had a great night out!

UND NATÜRLICH ORDENTLICH EIS ASSEN!


Sorry for the bad quality of the pics, but they were all taken with my mobile (CELL) phone!

ALLE BILDER SIND MIT DEM HANDY GEMACHT, DAHER DIE ETWAS GERINGERE QUALITÄT...

This is the friends award, which I have received from Lisa Allender some time ago.

Strawberries and summerpleasures - for car-fans I suppose... ¤¤¤ Erdbeeren und Sommerfreuden

The perfect way to spend the weekend: picking strawberries and a barbecue!


Yesterday evening we only just managed to make it to the strawbeery fields. It must have been almost 8 or so before we started...

JETZT IST WIEDER ERDBEEREN-ZEIT!

Luckily we're fast pickers. And so we were able to fit in the barbecue afterwards - really cozy in the twilight of the summer-garden!

GESTERN ABEND HABEN WIR NOCH SCHNELL EIN PAAR GEPFLÜCKT... und danach noch schnell in der Dämmerung gegrillt - so richtig gemuetlich!

Thank you very much Brad for this very lovely and so cute award and for thinking of me!!!

Now why am I posting this here?!

ER ERINNERT MICH SEHR AN UNSER VORHERGEHENDES B&B, WO DIE REHE GANZ DICHT ANS HAUS KAMEN...

It's because it fits very well! we used to have a B&B on Funen (picture below)
and in the winter time all the deer would come very close to the house in order to eat the old apples from the ground or the chest nuts on the other side of the house.

I remember one Chistmas ... watching them through the blinds and they were maybe just two or three metres away. they couldn't hear any sound, but they did spot me through the almost close blinds. Interesting, isn't it?!
Would have to look through too many files to find pics of them, but here is one of the house an the fruitgarden in front of it which they just loved!


Anyway, no awards-post without passing them on, right?!
