Belatedly, a short note about our visit to Copenhagen over the Royal Wedding BH weekend. I missed out on all the fuss around Pippa Middleton's bum, but at last I found a use for teenagers - dog sitting!
First of all, for Ellie's fans, here is a picture of her n her pal Nandie. Nothing to do with Copenhagen but....

| Little n Large! |
Speaking of little n large, this is our friend Flemming, whom we stayed with in Copenhagen...very reasonable b & b rates (we took him out for dinner one night...)...

| Arriving at Flemming's place |
Copenhagen is a beautiful place, although there is rather a lot of construction disruption presently due to a new Metro line being built.

| Rosenborg Castle in Copenhagen's Royal Gardens |
We particularly appreciated the Royal Gardens and the Botanical Gardens, although we passed on Tivoli. Flemming feels that Copenhagen has become a much dirtier place than it used to be, but to us visiting English it seemed beautifully clean. Some of the architecture is stunning, both old and new. A guided boat trip on the canal network is a great way to experience this aspect of Denmark's capital.

| National Theatre, Copenhagen |
We stayed from Thursday through to the Sunday, did lots and thoroughly enjoyed this marvellous city.....

| Tired boys |
...and would go back like a shot. Not the cheapest of places to visit, but superb for short breaks.
Now if only I could find some time in between work and being a gardening slave to go fishing...........
