This time two years ago we were in Denmark for a 10 day trip staying with a dear friend where we did a series…

We were due to be packing the car today to head to Scotland for our first tour of the year.   The weather's awful so I"m quite glad we're not on a ferry, but sadly I think there'll be no tours…
