Aaaanyway, back to Copenhagen - It was a bit of a walk from where we were staying, but we had a very tasty breakfast at Granola - heightened by the fact that Bertie was having a nap, so the three of us were able to enjoy our food without interruptions (it’s ok, we bought him a bagel once he woke up - he doesn’t miss out). It was a little chilly, but the sun came out to join us. I always enjoy a bit of people watching, so this was an ideal opportunity. Can anyone tell me why a lot of the Danish youth were wearing sailor hats? Was it a finishing school thing? We were intrigued.
The only disappointing thing about this breakfast was that I had hoped to call into a couple of shops on this street - one of them being Playtype, but nothing opened until 12pm and we had a train to catch. Boo.
Do you see in the second picture that even Bertie’s buggy snuggle has triangles on it? Taking it a bit too far? Can’t help it!
Have a splendid day :)
Mmmh brunches in Copenhagen, one of the best things there! I'm happy you founf the nice street, you'll have to go back check on playtype and yes! sailor's hat is end of high school. Great shots!
ReplyDeleteI agree! And thank you for answering my question, I thought so! Have a nice day x
DeleteThat looks so good! We had the same 12pm problem on the last day, too bad :(
ReplyDeleteIt was yummy! Yes, the 12pm things was a pain - happened a few times! Oh well - save me spending money!
DeleteOh my goodness, that looks amazing. Hope the back gets better soon...
ReplyDeleteIt was really goo. Thank you! Very bored of my back pain!
DeleteHaha, yes - the sailor hats is because they finished high school. It's an old Danish tradition. They celebrate by driving around the city for a whole day, from home to home in big trucks decorated with flowers and banners.
ReplyDeleteKind regards
Sofie Maj, Copenhagen :-)
By the way, I also love Granola. I'm glad you experienced that on your trip to Copenhagen :-)
Hehe, yes, we thought as much - glad it has been clarified! Pleased we got to Granola too - a few people had recommended it. Have a lovely day :)
DeleteLove these photos - how cool do you guys look?! How funny about the sailor's hats :) Kx
ReplyDeleteHa, thanks - that's Dan and Maisie - sometimes people think it's me, she's so grown up for her age! Not that she looks 33, but you know! The sailor hats were funny! x
Deleteyummi breakfast indeed! sorry to hear about your backache. i suffered of back ache too until I started pilates (i know kinda sex and the city thing), i had then pain everywhere but eventually the back ache gradually disappeared and I feel much stronger now! :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks A x
DeleteActually, I am going to be starting pilates this evening. Ha, know what you mean by sex and the city, but I need core strength big time!! It's pregnancy/birth that does it to us! x
That breakfast looks perfect, like a little breakfast buffet packed onto one little plate. I had a back op last summer so I can sympathise with you. Backs are v much neglected till they get buggered up. I even now for get/don't bother to do my stretching and pilates until my back flares up and then I'm at it like a mad woman. Hope yours gets better soon. X
ReplyDeleteHehe, that's just how it was! Backs are so annoying - I know what you mean, we neglect them and then they pay us back! Thank you x
DeleteI'm sorry to hear about your aching back, that type of thing is so annoying, especially when it keeps you from doing the things you want. Hope you feel better soon!|
ReplyDeleteWell, you still do a good job in making me want to go to Copenhagen more badly! ;)
Thanks Nina - i know, I'm not good with stuff like this. Need to be doing things. Really frustrating.
DeleteGlad you're still wanting to visit Copenhagen! :)
oh -sailor hat thing is funny-but nice they keep some traiditions about leaving school-what do we have...go get pissed!
ReplyDeletebreakfast looks amazing!
Ha! Indeed! It was delicious thank you :)
DeleteI hope you feel better very soon : ) , great photos, love the second one, you guys look really cool and that breakfast look really nice! Have a lovely day! x
ReplyDeletethanks Mariela - that's Dan and my daughter Maisie in the second pic. I was on the other side of the road with the camera! Have anise day too x
DeleteYour photos are gorgeous and those breakfast pics have made me hungry! I hope your bag is better soon. x
ReplyDeleteThank you :) x
DeleteOops, I mean, back, not bag :-D x
ReplyDeleteHehe, thank you - I knew what you meant! Although I do feel like an old bag at the moment! x
Deleteha! total flashback to us arriving in malmo amid hundreds of 'young adults' dressed as sailers riding around town in noisy vehicles! it was also late june.
ReplyDeletethat breakfast. i could eat that all day, every day!
let me know if you need anything delivered to you. shopping etc. happy to help. x
Ha, I love a flashback! Yes, I could eat that all day everyday too - better than cereal and toast (although I’d prob miss it!)/
DeleteThank you, that’s very kind of you xx my mum is coming tomorrow, so that will be a help :)
What a gorgeous set of photos! Your breakfast looks delicious, by the way. Hope your back starts feeling better soon! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Kate :) x
DeleteGorgeous pics Kerry! The Thunderbirds freak me out too...so I hope you get well soon! ;-)
ReplyDeleteThank you fellow Thunderbirds phobic lady!! x :)
DeleteWhat a great place to have breakfast!
ReplyDeleteIt certainly was :)
DeleteLovely looking breakfast :)
ReplyDeleteHope your back gets better soon. I had super bad back ache a while ago, I did a lot of shuffling too. I think I even slept on the sofa some nights. Back ache is so frustrating and boring. I felt ancient too :)
Ah thanks Elia - yes shuffling weirdly helps! I agree, boring and frustrating. I’ve had enough - makes me feel so old too!
DeleteThis breakfast looks so good!
ReplyDeleteIt was really good - I’d definitely return!
DeleteThose pictures make me feel hungry, it looks really appealing!
ReplyDeleteI hope your back is gonna feel better real soon, I'll keep my fingers crossed!
I’m glad they look appealing. They really were tasty - especially my cinnamon toast :) Thank you for your well wishes x
DeleteLovely photos, and those pancakes look amazing! x
ReplyDeleteThanks! They were Charmaine - I want some now! x
DeleteGreat pics as always Kerry. It took me a bit of getting used to breakfasts and brunches there because they are so continental. I've been so indoctrinated with English breakfasts, a colonial staple this side of the world. But those danishes and pastries, and butter, oh, that glorious butter! Copenhagen aside sorry to read about your back, hope there is some relief soon... Thunderbirds doesn't sound like much fun... but I believe they are go :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Matt - ah yes, the ‘continental’ breakfast! I do enjoy them - more so than an English one (which of course has its place though!)
DeleteThanks for your kind wishes :)
Bad back - Alexander technique is fantastic & recommended by the BMA for work related (eg sitting at a computer endlessly) problems. Recommend Hilary King over in stoke newington, tho it's a transport challenge getting from crouch end to there.. Am sure there will be someone closer.. Good luck! Lovely pix, stories etc, but I would expect no less.. Ps, know you live in crouch end because I went to the pop up shop - am not a stalker!
ReplyDeleteHi Jade! Thank you :) It’s ok, I didn’t think you were a stalker! The chiropractor is helping - going to one in Muswell Hill. I haven’t tried the Alexander technique, but have heard of it. Will do some research. It’s a bit of a pain to get to Stokey, but I’m sure I could manage it! :) x
DeleteThis looks like a perfect breakfast! Oh and Copenhagen is on top of my travel list so thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteHi Igor, yes it was. I really do recommend. I hope you’ll get to Copenhagen soon. Reckon you’ll love it, going by your blog :)
DeleteWonderful pictures! Wonderful breakfast in a gorgeous city!!!! Love the tolix-chairs...
ReplyDeleteThank you - I could easily have nabbed one of those tolix chairs!
DeleteI really want to go there and your photos are a real temptation!
ReplyDeleteThank you - I’m glad they make you feel that way - I hope you’ll be able to take a trip there one day :)
DeleteThese are lovely pictures as always, the second one in particular has a delightfully old-timey feel to it:)
ReplyDeleteThank you Georgie - glad you like them x
DeleteI whish you well for your back Kerry, I had the same and I know it's very painful. In my case the chiropractor helped a lot, it will turn out ok I think. Nice breakfast! Did you find danish bread really delicious? I thought it was the top! Get well soon xxx
ReplyDeleteThank you Stefania - I'm glad seeing a chiropractor helped. Mine is really bad still, but hoping it'll start mending soon. And yes, Danish bread was delicious xx
Deletemy fav breakfast time
ReplyDeleteOh I am so jealous seeing these pictures! But nice to be tagged along through Copenhagen with you!
ReplyDeleteAaaw, I hope you'll go one day Iris - pleased you're enjoying the pics :)
DeleteI'm so glad you liked it here in Copenhagen. And wow, your two little ones are certainly not that little anymore. Hello grown up version of Maisie, and young man Bertie. Time flies! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Li - yes, we loved it. And I know, time really is flying. They're really growing up fast! I did wonder about you actually when we were there - wondering where you might be living! :) Might have wandered down your street!
DeleteLook absolutely delish, was just wondering what sort of filter (thats if you do use one) do you use on your pictures? they are just beautiful xx
ReplyDeleteThank you! I have a Canon 550D with a 50mm 1.8 lens, which is nice to use. Editing wise, sometimes photoshop, but I actually rather like the new Picmonkey. I like the ‘Film’ setting which I add a bit of and then sometimes layer another, like ‘polaroid’ on top. I also adjust contrast, exposure etc. Hope this helps xx
