Colourful Körnerpark

 
On the last of the warm fall days, we went to Körnerpark to enjoy the sun and work up a little tan before winter hibernation. Now there are no more short sleeves and bare feet this year. Instead we are getting out the hot cacao and blankets so we can instead engage in some winter hygge.

Yellow Indian Summer

Last week, we had some exceptional warm fall days with up to 22 degrees. I was told this was due to a hurricane in Britain, that somehow pushed all the warmth our way. I will not complain, as I was already starting to get a little case of the blues now that we can't spend as much time outside.

Even though I love fall, I think we can all agree, that autumn is just nicer when the sun is shining. My usual nap-trip in the cemetery was a walk through rain of bright yellow leaves. Such a beautiful sight. I was thinking about how gathering all of these leaves must seem like an endless task for the people working there, but as soon as it starts raining they will turn into mud, so better remove them.

On days like this, I know why fall is my preferred season.

Helsingør

Helsingør is the city of Hamlet, of liquor stores and drunk Swedes and small alleyways and a shiny version of the little mermaid, apparently - can you find her?
It has this nice mix between very old merchant town and more modern parts. It is touristic yet sleepy.

Since my mum was on vacation we visited Helsingør on a weekday and took a stroll down the main shopping street and city square, had smørrebrød for lunch and went for a walk around Kronborg and the marina afterwards.

Another nice day with blue sky and sun to enjoy.

Allerød

Allerød is where I grew up.

Now that I have to walk a daily trip, I had the chance to visit some places, that I have not been in years. On one walk we passed my old school, took some of the routes that I used to take frequently and saw places that have changed and others that have remained the same.

I was so lucky with the weather. Many told me, that there has not been good days like this since my last visit in June. I think out of the two weeks I was there, we only had one bad day. Otherwise it was mostly warm and sunny. The day before I left, the fall really took over.
