They have renovated the attic to a living space. Ib and Karen spend half their time here.

These gabions are actually mink cages. Minks were exterminated because they were carrying COVID!

This afternoon we drove an hour to Ebeltoft to Thor's family 's summer house. It is a renovated mill and surrounding buildings- a cottage and barn.
The barn is fully renovated into a party space with full kitchen, bathroom and sauna!! They use it for family parties, weddings, etc.
When not used for parties it houses Ib's workshop and Karen's art studio.

Ib and Karen have cooked up a feast for tea. I get the tour of the Mill which is now fully renovated. When I was here 5 years ago the "hat" was off and they were re-shingle-ing.

They have also made the attic of the cottage into a lovely self-contained living area. Ib and Karen spend half their time here and half in the house in Aarhus. Nanna, Thor's sister, has bought that house now, hasn't moved in yet but has renovation plans.

Nanna is getting married in 2025, and Thor and Sophie are planning for 2026. Both weddings will be here in the barn.

More news, Thor's friend who visited us, Andreas, has recently got married to the Danish girl he met in Australia and is expecting a baby.
Thor's brother Malte, now has 2 daughters.
Jeppe is still in a care apartment and happy (Thor's half brother who has Down's).

Sophie, Thor and Karen go back to Aarhus tonight, leaving me with Ib.
Karen has a niece's 50th birthday party in Copenhagen tomorrow and the others have work. Karen and Thor will be back Saturday. Sophie is going to Austria with her Scout group for a week!!Read more
