GOOD-BYE NEIGHBORHOOD



We are packing up and trying to fit all our stuff into the 4 suitcases we are allowed.    It is not working so well.  We have been sorting  and discarding and stuffing in what we can.  Painful. Thankfully, we can take as many memories home as we want.  We have loved living in a beautiful neighborhood for the last twenty-plus months.  We will miss  Denmark and especially Copenhagen.  Copenhagen is like an aging queen;  stately and regal from afar,  but up close, a little wrinkled and tattered.  Part of the charm of living in an old European city.  We will miss it.



Some years we are lucky to watch the swans mothering their young.  This last year, a swan made a nest and laid eggs only to abandon them eventually.  The city puts fences around the nests so walkers along the lakes don't bother them.

View from our roof top looking northwest.

Winter out the back window.

Beautiful spring tulips at Tivoli.

Me and  the Ottleys at the Queen's spring and fall residence.  I need some of these climbing roses!

Tivoli decorated at Halloween.

Sunset over the lakes in our backyard.

Lovely spring on the path around the lakes.
