Winter Tales and Gold Leaves


Today, I went for some lunch at Forlæns & Baglæns (Forwards and Backwards) in Aarhus. They serve Spanish influenced tapas and cocktail, and are very popular. If you want to eat out you have to book a table early because they get booked so fast every night. I ordered some shrimps, or prawns if you will, with aioli, and it was a taste of Heaven!
In the picture, you see my dessert, a rich chocolate cake with berrys and creme fraishe and the best chai latte I have ever had. I wish it would come in larger amounts because its very addicting. Whilst eating and enjoying the food, I finished one of Karen Blixen's (Isak Dinesen) short stories in her 'Winter Tales'. Being a Dane, I'm a little apalled of how little I have come across her in my studies, so I'm trying to make up to the baroness. One day I would like to visit her home, Rungstedlund, near Copenhagen. She was very keen on flowers, and my parents told me that the curators always arrange flowers around the house in her honour. I really like the thought of that.  

On my way to town, I spotted these gold leaves in the street and thought it was so pretty. I like when something turn up where you least expect it. And I like the gold against the other colder hues in the picture. About ten seconds later that area was sweeped clean, so perhaps my photo is the only remembrance of it. Kinda sad, but I'm glad I saw it.

Trying My Wings

This blog is a means to collect the things that I find inspiring, intriguing, and amazing, and a way to share those with others around the world, hence English in stead of Danish.
Therefore, there will be a variety of themes and my focus is, at least for the time being, a bit wider than most other blogs.
As an English and Art History student, I will also use this blog as a means to work on school projects and finding other dimensions to same, as well as a hobby based area for fun and creativity, and a way to remember things and places I come across, whether that be shops, cafés or recipes.


Please feel free to comment. I would love to get some ideas and tips.
However, that said, I hope you will respect and understand my choise to be anonymous because this blog is a spare time thing for me, and should not been seen as more than such. If that changes, I will let you know.. :)


On that note,
Welcome...
