Flensburg

Vi har lavet mange ting, min nevø og jeg. I går lavede vi noget som vi begge havde glædet os til! Vi tog nemlig til Flensborg med en af mine veninder fra Fyn. 

Det første vi gjorde, efter at bilen var parkeret, var selvfølgelig at gå forbi "Wollsucht". Som IKKE var lukket! Jeg KAN jo ikke gå forbi godt Opalgarn når det tilmed er billigt, så der kom altså lige lidt med videre..... (Det er jo nærmest som at købe mel og havregryn!)

We did lots of stuff, my nephew and I. Yesterday, we did something that we had really been looking forward to! We went to Flensburg with one of my friends from Funen. 

First thing we did, after parking the car, was of course to pass "Wollsucht". Which HADN'T closed up! Now, I just CAN'T pass lovely Opal yarn when it's so cheap, so a few skeins went out of the shop with us.... (Almost like buying flour and oatmeal!)

Det næste vi gjorde, var at gå ind på en af de lækre iscafeer og spise en kæmpe is! Det hører ligesom til, og det blev så frokosten. 

Der var så hyggeligt som altid i gågaden, faktisk, og vi fik kigget i en masse butikker. Blandt andet efter te! Min nevø har som mål at finde så mange slags Earl Grey som muligt.....

The next thing we did, was entering one of the lovely ice cream cafés and have a giant ice cream! It's part of the fun, and it became our lunch. 

In the pedestrian area, it was as nice as always, and we looked in a lot of shops. One of the things we looked for was tea! My nephew wants to find as many kinds of Earl Grey as possible......

For nogle år siden var jeg i Flensborg og fandt en butik med afrikansk stof. Den ville jeg SÅ gerne finde igen! Heldigvis var den stadig åben. Egentlig er det vistnok en frisør, og i et skab ligger der så en hel del stofstykker i nogle bunker. Slet ikke hvad man forbinder med en stofbutik!

Men jeg fandt noget mere Afrika-stof og var helt vildt glad. Skal helt sikker have nogle flere sommerbluser!

A few years back, I went to Flensburg and found a shop with African fabric. I would SO love to find it again! Fortunately, it was still in business. I guess it's really a hairdresser, and then in a cabinet they have a lot of fabric in some piles. Not at all how you imagine a fabric store!

But I found some more African fabric, and was overjoyed. I'll definitely be making som more summer tops!

På vej hjem kom vi så til det som min nevø havde glædet sig allermest til. Som i aller- allermest! Han havde snakket om bjerge af slik med julelys i øjnene, og han fik virkelig opfyldt sin drøm. 

Vi tog forbi Scandi Park, og han fik lov at vælge slik. Det blev en ret god vognfuld!

På en eller anden måde fik vi det hele med hjem, og nu står det så og venter på hvad der skal med til USA (det meste). 

I dag skal vi vaske tøj og slappe af. Prøve at finde en tepotte med fyrfad (som han drømmer om) og drikke rabarbersaft. Det bliver en god dag. 

On the way back, we did what my nephew had been looking most forward to. Like his wildest dreams! He had been talking about mountains of candy with shining eyes, and he had his dream fulfilled. 

We went to Scandi Park, and he got to pick candy. We ended up with quite a pile! 

Somehow, we managed to get everything home with us, and now it's here, waiting to know what candy will go to the US with us (most of it).

Today, we'll do some laundry and relax. Try to find a teapot with a heater (like he would so much want) and drink rhubarb juice. It will be a good day.
