Random Danish memories…

Hygge, lykke, fika & lagom…

Nope, don’t call 911, I am not having a stroke, or suddenly speaking in tongues! I am doing well and swell. I just thought I spared you enough lately. Some might have been questionning my love for Denmark, since I haven’t spoken much about Vikingland for a while. And no one should ever, ever doubt…… Continue reading Hygge, lykke, fika & lagom…
