Amsterdam Half Marathon Weekend
My sister and I went to Amsterdam for a weekend to run the half marathon there. We like to run, but admittedly, we were also looking for an excuse for a quick getaway. Amsterdam is a great city for such an escape. Actually, it’s a great city, period. I do recall saying, “I could live […]
A Day Out – Ham House
There is no doubt that one of the reasons we love living in Europe is because so much history can be found around every corner. I am still learning about the area we live in. Just a stroll away, on route to a bustling shopping area, are the remains of Richmond Palace. Built in the […]
Bonfires, chickens and wheelbarrow races in Cornwall
This is probably how it’s going to be. In autumn I’ll write about summer, in winter I will write about autumn and so on. That is, if I’m lucky enough to steal a few moments to write anything at all. I have to remind myself that this time of year always feels busy. Back to […]
Headlands, Tiny Harbors and Floating Castles in Cornwall
After leaving Carbis Bay, heading for Penzance, we decided to drive around the Penwith peninsula and stop at Land’s End – the most westerly point of mainland England.

No doubt, there are numerous reasons people flock here, each enticed for different reasons. I’ve had my share of afternoons in London over the years (especially in […]
Life on the Left
Moving country is a strange thing. A strange, tiring, frustrating and beautiful, wondrous thing. It was a month ago that we moved from Copenhagen to London. It was three years prior, that we moved from Seattle to Copenhagen. Compared to many people I know, we are not veterans to this lifestyle, yet we are no […]
Tak Copenhagen
Well, hello again. Starting this post is overwhelming on many levels. For one, it has been months since the last time I wrote and it feels like a challenge to catch up (it may never happen). As promised, I return to this blog with one Master’s thesis checked off the list. The other overwhelming factor […]
