I love Copenhagen, I love sheeps and I love stories about the women in my family. This post includes it all.

Copenhagen – the capital in Denmark, that’s where I have lived most of my life.
One of the things I love about the place I live is that I have everything within the range of 5 km. I have the sea, downtown Copenhagen, museums and severals pastures. We have a lot of bikes and bikes lane and it’s so easy to get anywhere on a bike.
Today some of my cousins posted photo from one of the pastures, Tippen, and some sheeps. I feel so grateful to live in a capital where sheep is being used to keep the vegetation down in some areas.
And the young women! I feel such a crush looking at them. I don’t know them that well, but we share a great grandmother. Dora, who was born i 1896 and died before these girls was born. I was 20 when she past and I knew her quite well. I loved to listen to her talk about her life, while I was looking at her sewing table next to her chair. It was a magic table with drawers with rooms for knitting needles, a scissor, treads and needles. I got the table and I still have it. Sometimes I still finds something surprising. Like when I found her knitting pattern for socks. Well, at least her notes for the pattern (- I assume she knew how to knit socks by heart) with measurements for her grandson – the father of these girls.
