Hello from Copenhagen - again!

Well, we're back in Copenhagen...again! It feels like ages since I've posted anything, so I have lots to catch up on, but just wanted to let people know things have gone well, it's been really busy, and we haven't fallen off the planet - yet!

Ruth and I have just spent a few days visiting our grandparents in Durham (in the north of the UK, close to Scotland) and it's been lovely to just stop and take things a bit easier with them. We don't know when we'll see them again, so it was particularly special to have this time while we were over this side of the world. The day we arrived, we helped celebrate their 61st wedding anniversary at a lovely hotel resturant, which was pretty special as I don't think I've ever been around to celebrate their anniversary. Mum was also here, so it was a good time to catch up with her before she had to attend the conference she was in the UK for. Funny how you have to travel half-way around the world to catch up with family...!

I have also managed to spend a few days visiting my uncle and aunt in Suffolk which went all too quickly, but was heaps of fun. I tried not to get sun-burned when we took a walk along the coast, near their home, but I enjoyed the yummiest hot chocolate afterwards... The next day, my cousin, Mia, took me to a quaint, typical english little tea-house close by to my uncle and aunt's, and it was cool to spend a little time catching up with her, after about 6 years...!

So now that we've caught up with family (and Ruth has caught up with some friends), we have started our Scandanavian tour. Really looking forward to seeing around a bit more of Copenhagen tomorrow, and then taking a tour of some of the castles around the area. Should be amazing if the weather holds up...it was raining when we flew in earlier, so hope it clears up tomorrow to take photos! We've just met some of the people on the tour; apparently, there are a few other people from New Zealand and Australia, and we were talking to two American couples over dinner who have known each other for years, and have come on the tour together (they seem really good fun, so it should be quite a trip with lots of laughs!).

There's probably lots more to mention, but it's time to turn in... ready for a full-on day tomorrow!
