Denmark: home of Hans Christian Andersen, Kierkegaard, and the Carlsberg brewery (I'm not necessarily a fan of the latter, but it's good to acknowledge the Danish contribution to the world of lager). I went to Copenhagen with my sisters for four days last week, my first foray to the Nordic/Scandinavian part of the world, and it was really lovely... the city is lively and cosmopolitan and laidback and friendly, with plenty to see and do. Here are some nice colourful photographs to set the scene (I've put in some descriptions in the text underneath of where they were taken):

About my blog
Really, it contains a little bit of everything, from a celebration of science and the English language to the joys of travel and the Shipping Forecast. The title ('Meanderings') is a fairly accurate description of its content: I write about different things as the mood takes me, but hopefully there's something in here for everyone... Categories
