Flower group visiting Copenhagen 24th of Oct.

Saturday 24th of October 2009

The flower group visited Copenhagen today. We took the train from Hvalsø at 8.58 and got to Nørreport.

We went shopping, saw the "Round Tower" and many other buildings. We went to more flower shops (e.g. Erik Berring who is very famous in Denmark) and The Royal Copenhagen (where Nicolai Bergman is owning the flowershop-corner)."Flora Danica" is the most famous service of Royal Copenhagen, ...and it is very expensive!

We made it through "Nyhavn" (see the red sign in the background) without getting drunk.

We saw e.g. Amaliehaven and Marmorkirken. We had a nice lunch at Rizraz before going to The danish national museum of Art. Late afternoon we went to Jyttes place, where we helped each other to make a nice supper. We had a mussel soup and fried cod fish + lots of fun.

Late in the evening we said goodbye to each other, - and see you again in Latvia in April 2010!

Workshop at Østergaard

All groups met at Østergaard to show some of the things they have been dooing the last days. We all made a work shop for each other and guests.

Things are easy to explain when it is done with a big smile.

- But you have to koncentrate if you want at good result.

After the work shop we all had a supper at Østergaard.

We had 3 different soups, one from each country and 3 types of pancakes as well.

Today we went out in the forrest (Ryegaard skov) to collect leaves, bark etc. for todays decoration. At this tree there is af beatyful view over "Dejligheden" in Lejre. Elisabeth is joining us today because her childminder is sick. She enjoyed to be in the middle of everything.

A little tea and bread break in the forrest (we couldn't find any trolls)

Everybody helped to get the pushcart around.

In the evening we had a traditionel danish lunch for dinner at Maikens place in Kr. Såby. Beer, snaps and songs.

Wedensday 21th of october for the flower group

In the morning we went to Roskilde to have a look at the "vikingeskibene" (viking-ships) and walk along the beach to "Kællingehaven".

The glassworks at the habour was open.

We went to Roskilde city to have a look at Roskilde Cathedral, where a lot of kings and queens are buried -just staying in their coffins inside the cathedral.

Some are lying down to have a good picture of the cathedral ;O)

At the marketplace in Roskilde we went to buy flowers and get some inspiration for todays work.

We were a little cold when we returned to Hasselgård, but in the flower-room we all got lunch and was heated up. We started to work with boquets and decorations.

Flowers made by leaves, -maybe a good idea for the workshop on friday?

In the evening we had dinner at Torben and Kirstens place. Steamed lamb from an earth-oven with salad.
