Home again, far from alone!

We have returned home after a few days spent in Denmark to attend DK's Christening.
We left home on Wednesday & visited cousin JR in Cambridgeshire.
We lunched at "The Cock" in Castle Camps, a lovely village pub, newly opened by a young, enthusiastic couple with great enthusiasm & good food.
We went back to JR's for tea , supper & an overnight stay, then off to Stansted on Thursday morning for an Easyjet flight to CPH.
Allowing for parking, transfers & checking in, we needed to arrive at the car park at 10.30am for a 1.15pm flight!
W met us at the airport whilst G was apoplectic, having just paid £12 at Starbucks for two coffees & a cookie. We went back & had dinner with the family at W & MK's before going home with T & B, who very kindly, put us up during our stay.
Five star accommodation, highly recommended.
We stayed until this morning & had a great time, talking, eating wonderful Danish meals, drinking, walking & visiting the family, some 15 kilometres away.
Many thanks to T & B for their wonderful hospitality.
We have had four days of almost incessant snow & sub-zero temperatures, making everywhere look wonderful.
Amazingly, life continued as normal despite this.

DK was Christened on Saturday afternoon, along with two baby girls.
Harry, who was at Imperial with W & is now a personal Trainer, was a Godfather, long with a friend of W & MK, whose name I cannot spell.
It was a nice service which included a hymn written especially for DK by a reverend friend of the family.
We went back to W &MK's, with a lot of family members & friends, for champagne & cake - a vital ingredient in any Danish celebration.

DK has grown a good deal & is a dear little soul with a very cheerful disposition; J is a bundle of fun & now speaks sentences in English.
We have lots of photos, I will post some later.

J, G & family came to see us when we got home, along with P, Jessie & Thomas.
G, Oscar & the twins are staying for a few days, they are all asleep at the moment - I hope that this lasts until well into tomorrow so that G has a good nights sleep.
