Day 60 16 September

Another day with this amazing family.  We woke early and set off with Ina at the wheel, Helge and Martha, for a long trip to visit the old farm and the cemetery.  As to be expected, the farm has changed.  The old house has been remodelled and has been subdivided off, the land under new ownership.  Many of the old buildings remain and it was interesting to see these.  Took some photos and will be able to compare these with the 1995 visit.  We met the new owner who showed us around and invited us in to see some old photographs he had borrowed from the neighbour.  Great!!

We have mixed feelings about the visit to the cemetery.  The headstones have been removed and trees planted, so the 1995 photos are really important.  Helge would like copies of these as he has no record or advice that this removal was to happen.  Apparently, after so many years, this happens to make space.  Not sure how this works as the plots are still hedged.

We then moved on to have a lovely lunch at the home of kHelge and Martha's son, Allan & Birgit (wife).  Once again we were made so welcome in a beautiful new home in a wooded area, lots of talk, translated as we went.  At the close of the meal, Helge spoke - a very emotional time as he expressed his thanks etc.  They really appreciated our visit and did not want us to leave!  It was soon time to drive on to Aahus to catch the train.

We are now on this train returning to Copenhagen.  It will be 9 pm before we get back to the hotel.  Tomorrow we spend the day with Charlotte and meet her mother, Inger Lise, and her family.  Somehow, sometime we will need to pack our bags to move on!

Until tomorrow, love to all...................
