Thursday evening I took the boys out to catch the migratory starlings near #Ribe, on a #sortsol tour organised by @vadehavscentret. . They had to be bribed with burgers to stop complaining about ‘watching boring birds’ but can be heard on a video saying ‘This is awesome!’ and ‘I was so wrong about this!’ (And it wasn’t sarcasm - they’re not at that stage - yet.) . So glad that we caught one of the last clear evenings of the season for this, with some bonus #danishskies 😍 . . . #esbjerg #esbjergdaysout #starlings #migration #waddenseanationalpark #nationalparkvadehavet #westjutland #vestjylland #visitdenmark @govisitdenmark @mitesbjerg @visitribe_denmark #esbjergblogger #esbjergexpat #danishliving #expatindenmark

I think I forgot to mention that our girl 💯 nailed it with her first thriller. . Stolen Things is pacy and twisty, with convincing, fallible characters, and depth beyond the suspenseful plot as she nudges at some contemporary themes. . Definitely recommended if you enjoy the likes of #ClaireMackintosh or #PaulaHawkins or any other edgy contemporary thrillers. . #bookstagram #highlyrecommended #thriller #bookreview #rhherron #stolenthings #stolenthingsnovel #debutthriller #amreading #agoodread @rachaelherron @duttonbooks

The rain stopped and the skies cleared early in #Esbjerg this morning before my walk - didn’t have my phone with me but it reminded me of this #Alberta moment from the summer. . Got the tarp up just in time for the downpour, then when it stopped the refreshed forest gave us percussive drips and birdsong and a sunset light show.

It’s a perfectly crisp and sunny autumn day in Esbjerg today 🍂☀️ . But just in case it doesn’t last, in the new issue of The International, I give you my recommendations for entertaining the kids in #Esbjerg on a rainy day. . Including, clearly my favourite hangout as I’m sitting there right now as I type, the central library @esbjergbib. . . . @theinternationaldenmark #theinternational #esbjergexpat #esbjergblogger #expatindenmark #danishliving #exploreesbjerg #mitesbjerg @mitesbjerg @esbjergshoutout #autumnindenmark #fallindenmark #esbjergforkids @esbjerg_kommune @newinesbjerg_nyiesbjerg

The latest on the blog is my review of a world-class hidden gem near #Esbjerg. I’ll be back there soon with my season pass!

On a bien mangé during our recent weekend in #Copenhagen. At L’éducation Nationale French bistro I had the kind of perfect French meal that made me want to go back and live there all over again. Delicious and authentic - highly recommended! . . . #léducationnationale @l_education_nationale #cuisinefrançaise #eatwell #cphliving #cphlatinquarter #goodfoodgoodwine #frenchliving #maversionfrançaise #danishliving #expatindenmark #expatblogger

I couldn’t resist stopping by the side of the road last week for this uber-Danish scene. . The Danes love celebrating autumn produce, and long before Halloween you’ll see autumn wreaths on front doors and pumpkin-based displays outside houses🍂🍁🍂 . It’s also common to see produce for sale at the end of a farm road - like here - or even a stall outside a home where the garden has produced more abundance than the homeowner can use themselves. . The most Danish part though? Whatever you take, you’re simply trusted to pay for it, in an honesty box for cash or (even more Danishly) to the MobilePay number on display. . I now have my own little pumpkin display outside our door, and we enjoyed farm-fresh corn 🌽 at the weekend. All paid for with my phone of course. Definitely seem to be turning a little bit Danish! 😉 . . . #danishliving #livingdanishly #fall #autumn #pumpkinpatch #farmfresh #livingdanishly #honesty #autumnscenes #favouriteseason #expatindenmark #turningdanish #esbjergexpat #expatblogger #esbjergblogger
