Lejre



Lejre is a historic village in rural Denmark. Mik and I spent a day wandering around this area. We sat here on this hillside and had a picnic lunch and overlooked an Iron Age village.



We had a closer look and found there are people who actually live here, wearing the same clothes, doing all the same trades and games and activities as they would have done during that period.





Mik looking like he has landed from another timezone to appear outside a typical 200 year old Danish cottage.



Some locals.



Smelling the flowers in the rustic garden behind the 200 year old cottage.



Mik looking casual and romantic.



This is how the Danes used to live thousands of years ago. A Stone Age hut which had a very strong smell because it was constructed from 50 or so goat skins.



Exploring the countryside.





Dancing for the sun.



The little red mermaid.

While I was sitting on that rock, Mik went off and picked some beautiful wild flowers for me...

Big smiles over here in Denmark.



Mik and I arrived in Århus in the early evening and drove to his father's home, the house where he spent many of his childhood years. Here I was treated to a music recital, Mik on piano and Finn, Mik's father, playing cello. Finn also prepared a wonderful meal with fine champagne and wine to celebrate.
