Denmark

We flew from Brussels to Copenhagen on Friday, arriving there about 4:30 and after battling peak hour traffic went to visit our friends at Gold Line Kennels, to look at some puppies, sired by a dog we sent to Denmark a couple of years ago (Ch Starbuck Torbay About Face) he has been a good sire for them and we were interested to see the current litter, one of which may come to us. Then we drove down about 1 hour south of Copenhagen to Vordingborg, where I was judging a Newfoundland Specialty on Saturday and Sunday. Denmark has some stunning Newf's and it was a joy to judge them, My fellow judge was from Siberia, but she only spoke German & Russian and I only speak English (and Australian) so our conversations were non existent. The weather was just perfect, low 70's with a slight breeze.
David went to spend Saturday night at Anna Sofie Gothen's (Red Baron beagles) and was joined there by Michael & Gerner (BeagleBoys Kennel) we had sent "Jack" to them last year - and they have given him a wonderful home. They all enjoyed a great time at a wonderful location. Thanks Anna!
On Sunday David collected me and we drove back to Roskilde, had dinner with Annette & Jesper on the quayside, watching the setting sun, of the last few hours of Summer (in Europe - Autumn starts September 1) Then off to the airport hotel, to spoil ourselves at the Hilton adjacent to the airport, one of our favorite hotels.We checked out this morning, walked to the airport across the road only to discover our flight was cancelled and so we have a 5 hour wait for the next flight to Brussels, where we re stying the night, before returning home tomorrow.
So now I am sitting in the SAS lounge updating my blog
