So it is Sunday morning the day after the wedding. I am feeling surprisingly fresh. Luckily I was awake in time to say Cheerio to Birgitte and Martin. What a wedding it was fantastically organised and attended by about 80 guests. It was certainly a day to remember. At 2 we all boarded a coach to go to the church it was uncomfortably hot in full tuxedo regalia, so, into the cool of the pew. Some of the guests had not read the invite so cringed self consciously in blue three piece suits!
Kirstine was given away by her mother Lisbeth they looked like sisters as they walked down the aisle. After an incomprehensible service we returned to the school and into the gardens for the champagne reception the corks were slashed off the bottles with a russian cossack sword in memory of Kirstine's Dad who favoured that form of bottle opening for champagne
The meal was cooked by one of Denmark's Master Chefs who lives on the island of Bornholm all the food was sourced from the island and the result was fresh tasty and light this was accompanied by some fine French wines. We had 17 speeches and afterwards the band struck up, the party stopped at 5am.
After helping to clean up I was taken to the airport by Lisbeth. I take this opportunity to thank her for a wonderful weekend which was all in all a beautiful and very happy occasion.
After training it to Hillerod I was met by my old friend Torben and within thirty minutes I was sipping a cold one on the verandah admiring the cliff top view of the sea. Lene and Metta were there,the latter is now a most amusing young lady with a wicked sense of humour,thinking back I don't think I had heard her speak before!
I had a great time at what is now the "celebs" summer destination in fact only a couple of weeks
prior the Crown Prince and Mary plus 4 kiddies had frolicked in the sea just below Torben and Lene's house so Royal Water's indeed. Lene and I went swimming and had great fun flinging a rubber ball
about skimming it across the flat sea I felt I was ten again the water was warm.I had a wonderful time
And after 24 hours I was sad to bid farewell.
This next bit was the the bit I was a apprehensive about the plan was a) return to airport b)pick up car c) meet Birgitte and Martin and pick up a suitcase in central Copenhagen d) drive three hours south to Haderslev. Sounds like a plan ..this is what happened......
Caught the train,changed trains caught the wrong one ended up in Central Station blast it! but opportunity knocks why didnt I think of this before so phoned Birgitte unable to contact her left a message,wanted to go to loo had to pay money but my money out of date crossed legs,getting annoyed now...tap on shoulder grinning Martin with suitcase,relief huge.caught train got in car arrived in Haderslev half an hour early ( that's what 140 k per hour can do) rented a mini what a super little car it is.
