Since forever, we have as a family been going skiing between Christmas and New Year. Usually in places like St. Moritz, Val Dísere, Meribel, Verbier, Sestriere ect. Parents, cousins, nephews, spouses, siblings, minimum 16-18 at the time. And I am sure the groupe next year will be even bigger, ......right mom? This year we chose Courchevel for the first time in many years, for its great skiing when you are a mix of good to great skiers. Brilliant slopes which are cleaned well every night, great restaurants and bars directly on the slopes, fantastic shopping, wonderful Chalet´s to rent and great hotels and spa´s. Sadly, since I had a very bad accident skiing 15 years ago in Italy, I have not been able to ski. I would stand there every morning waving goodbye to all the others who were so lucky to go up the mountain, and then I would spend the rest of the day making lunch reservations, spa bookings, drinking vin chaud, buying hot chocolate for cold kid´s, making dinner plans and so forth. Not bad, BUT still ! Finally this year I decided it was time to try skiing again. My doctor had given me the ok the year before. The weather and slopes were too good to be true. At first a little stiff but on the second day I got the rhythm back in hips and knees. And it didn't look to bad at all ;-)
GUBI has opened up a new shop......... Thank you for turning Møntergade into something which looks like London.
We went to a great opening at GUBI the other night. Fantastic place and super crowd. Congratulation.

Elmgreen & Dragset at The National Museum of Denmark.
All weekend we were baby-sitting my sisters kids.......alias my favorite nephews,.... Alfa & Bjørnis. What to do .......think think think ?
Friday just relaxing with Popcorn and a good film, saturday the Zoo and Sunday we went to The National Museum of Denmark. This stunning building is full of wonderful experiences for both adults and children. Apart from their amazing permanent exhibition, they have at the moment, three modern large-scale installations, the ´Elmgreen & Dragset biography´ which is absolutely worth seeing. But proberly best of all, the many workshops for children. In the workshops children have the posibility to create anything they want, paint and build. Good fun for all :-)
