This has been a very busy week for me. I have hardly had time to stop and breath!
Last Friday I left home in Comrie in Scotland flew off to Denmark for three days to celebrate my dad's 87th birthday. The first night I stayed with my sister Kirsten, and the next day we went to Hinneryp to visit my brother Hans Chr. and his wife Birna and they had invited the whole family to celebrate my dad's birthday the 21th June with brunsh and singing by great grand children. In the afternoon we all went into 'Den Gamle By'(Museum of old houses), i Aarhus where Hans Chr were singing in Aarhus Studenter Singers. It was a great event, and a lovely courtyard with bandstand where the celebration took place. Dad enjoyed the singers coming down and singing for him especially.
It was a lovely day and we all enjoyed ourselves.
The next day I flew back to Edinburgh and spent the evening with Pernille. We walked out to Crammond Island as the tide was low. The sunset was beautiful, and we had a lovely time.
Tuesday 23th June I flew out to Boston in the US. and joined David in Rockland, ME. We are getting Davids boat, The Aros More, ready for sailing back across the Atlantic. We are enjoying great hospitality from Bev and Bill Cowan and staying in their lovely old house in Rockland. They own a schooner, which they are working on to ready to sail on long term.
