Saint Albans

Lige ved siden af Langelinie, ret centralt og som en hovedbanegård af turistbusser, ligger St. Alban's Church, den anglikanske kirke i København. Takket være min ældste nevø har jeg nu faktisk været indenfor et par gange, og i går var jeg der så igen. Bare udenfor.
Der var nemlig marked ude i parken foran!
Det var nu ikke derfor jeg kom. Næh - han skulle bruge sin fødselsdagsgave som han havde glemt hjemme hos mig, og så kunne jeg jo aflevere det fine, lyserøde sæt til hans datter.
Hun blev nøjagtigt lige så lykkelig for det som kun en 2-årig pige kan blive! Det var kun jakken der blev prøvet - det var alt for varmt - men den ville hun helst heller ikke have af igen. Succes!

Right next to Langelinie, very central and like a central station of tourist busses, lies St. Alban's Church, the Anglican church in Copenhagen. Thanks to my oldest nephew, I've actually been inside a few times by now, and yesterday, I was there again. Just outside this time.
They had their market in the park in front!
Which wasn't why I came. No - it was because he needed his birthday present that he forgot at my place, and then I could give away the pretty, pink set of clothes for his daughter.
She got exactly as happy with this as only a 2-year old girl can get! She only tried on the jacket since it was too warm, but she didn't want to take it off. Success!

Der var mulighed for at købe engelske specialiteter, f.eks. pickled eggs. Som jeg aldrig har smagt og egentlig heller ikke tror jeg har behov for at smage. Men det er vel smart, hvis man ikke lige har en høne ved hånden og heller ikke får købt æg så tit!

They sold English specialties, like for instance pickled eggs. Which I never tasted and really don't think I have a need to taste. But I guess it's clever if you don't have a hen nearby and don't get to buy eggs very often!

Der var også Marmite. Den sagnomspundne fødevare har jeg heller ikke smagt og føler heller ikke det store behov. Eller. Måske kunne jeg nok godt lokkes til at smage engang!
Købte istedet "ginger wine", jelly babies og lodsedler. Nå ja - og nogle bøger. Igen. Må virkelig have lidt fart på læsningen! Denne gang var det brugte bøger der nærmest ikke kostede noget.

They also had Marmite. The mythical food that I didn't taste either and don't feel a bit need for. Or..... Maybe I could taste some of this sometime!
Instead, I bought "ginger wine", jelly babies and lottery tickets. Oh well - and a few books. Again. Must speed up my reading! This time it was used books that cost next to nothing.

Jeg hyggede med hende her. Det var rigtig dejligt varmt og sol, og det var totalt hyggeligt. Det er virkelig sjovt med den der lyserøde periode som hun er hoppet i med begge ben. Selv hendes ballondyr skulle være lyserødt!

I hang out with this girl. It was really lovely warm in the sunshine, and so nice. It is kind of fun with the pink period that she entered completely. Even her balloon-animal needed to be pink!

Da jeg skulle af sted igen kom Jane Austen danserne på. Åh, hvor var det svært at gå midt i det! Men når man skal til fin fødselsdag, er der jo ikke noget at gøre.
Det eneste tilbageværende problem fra den dag er sådan set, at min nevø nu mener at jeg er nødt til at se "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies". Er slemt bange for at der ikke er nogen vej udenom....

When I was leaving, the Jane Austen dancers had just started. It was so difficult leaving in the middle of this! But I had to go to get to a very nice birthday party.
The only problem left from that day is really the fact that my nephew thinks I have to watch "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies". I'm quite afraid that I have no escape from this....
