A Glimpse of Hip Windhoek

May 23, 2018May 24, 2018 frustratednester2 Comments

Any trip to Namibia is all about getting out into the wilderness. There's world-class safari action, iconic desert dunes, and everything - I mean almost every conceivable landscape - in between. More on that story later. But you've got to start somewhere, and international flights land in the capital, Windhoek, surely one of the easiest… Continue reading A Glimpse of Hip Windhoek →

🇩🇰 🚲 🇩🇰 🚲 🇩🇰 We arrived in July, all the boys chose their bikes some time in August, and from our temporary apartment MT started cycling to work. But the school run on two wheels had to wait till we were in our house, a more manageable distance. It wasn’t that I was putting it off, but I wasn’t going to buy a bike in Denmark until I’d found just the right one: the hunt for the cute-vintage-retro-hyggelig-scandi-chic-city-urban-shopper vibe was, sporadically, on. It was well into autumn before I brought home this @mustangcykler beauty. Then I had to organise myself to source lights for us all, and locks, and fit them, and do a test run of the route, and eventually pick a day to set the alarm early enough. (Only one of many Project Denmark operations being executed at that time.) We had a couple of goes when it was already dark in the mornings, because a promise is a promise, but both ended (seriously) in tears. Finally, finally, praise Idun (that’s the Norse goddess of spring. Obvs) and her sprinkling of pre-spring light and mildness...we did it! A drama-free day of two-wheeled school runs (even though at 4pm I almost forgot and got in the car...my legs were nae happy). A big win for #DanishLiving today! 🇩🇰 🚲 🇩🇰 🚲 🇩🇰
London got itself pretty for the lovers tonight. Happy Valentines from me and my four Valentines (3 boys + 1 city) on the South Bank. Back to DK tomorrow. . . . #valentines #london #goldenhour #southbank #instatravel

This is a really interesting piece about community, but I especially love Gina’s style of illustrating food 😍 Head over to her feed for the link. #Repost @americanheirloom with @get_repost ・・・ Day 36: I can FINALLY share something I’ve been working on for awhile! I was commissioned by @goodfoodjobs to write a story about @sendflerekrydderier here in Copenhagen. It was an honor to create this. You can read the whole story by following the link in my profile. ••• #makeart2019

Turns out I can’t cater for 33 guests and ‘gram it all at the same time...who knew? 😄 Borrowed pics from a friend so I can show our (3 types of) haggis, neeps and tatties. . Also shown: epic pavlovas beside the cranachan, representing our growing expat tradition of a Burns Night 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Australia Day🇦🇺 mashup. . If you haven’t a scoobie what that’s all about, link in bio! 😉 . . . #burnsnight #australiaday #expatfamily #partytime #haggis #haggisneepsandtatties #pavlova #cranachan #tartantable #scotabroad #expatliving #myexpatlife #expatcommunity #expatindenmark
Tonight is Burns Night, which we’ll be celebrating tomorrow, which means I’ll soon be elbow-deep in champit tatties for 30+ people... 🥔 🥔🥔🥔🥔 So I’ll leave this *link in bio* here, from last year, with a reminder of why this line from Rabbie Burns is my favourite. Cheers! 🥃 . . . #burnsnight #scotabroad #toseeourselsasithersseeus #rabbieburns #robertburns #naeselfies #haggis #haggisneepsandtatties #expatliving #myexpatlife #expatblogger #thefrustratednester
