Chill-laxing.


It was a relaxed weekend here in Vejle for the Groves family. We were planning on heading up to Copenhagen but the Mrs had to take it easy this week under Doctors orders as the baby was making himself/herself felt. So we decided to just have a nice little weekend and started by popping out for a nice dinner.



All three of us heading off to dinner.




This is where we decided to go. Very pretty place.




Cabbage and cream soup.





Fried vegetables with homemade mayo and sweet potato chips.





Pork with Cheese and berries.




Ice cream with crumbled cookie, berries and cream.






Decided I NEED to join this order.




On Saturday I took the opportunity to clean the apartment and do some much needed house work. Cant say the wife was too pleased by this so I made tasty Sushi and Tempura to cheer her up.



Sunday turned out to be super sunny this Sunday, so we invited ourselves over to our friends Sven & Lizzy's place.....who have a nice garden. They fired up the BBQ and we all enjoyed a bit of sun.



I was trying to brush up on my German.





That is a good sight on a sunny day.





Sven has an Apple tree in the garden, and I do mean APPLE....





..as this is the only one. It better taste good.




Swinging sister.

3 out of 14





So this week (8th August) was mine and the Mrs 3rd wedding anniversary, Woooo! However when you consider we have been together almost 14 years thats doesn't seem so impressive.... but thats no reason to NOT to get all mushy and have a nice weekend in Copenhagen now is it!

Fee was down there for work on Thursday and I went up to join her on Friday. First on the agenda was meeting up with our good friends Ines & Gustaffa, who are soon to be married themselves. We went to the Tokyo Restaurant and it was pretty good! They told us they have been there almost 48 years and were the first Japanese restaurant in Copenhagen.




We sat at one of those traditional low tables. Fee, with her Asian roots was fine but us westerners were suffering after a while. haha




The next day we fueled up with a nice hotel breakfast, said hi to a work friend who had no idea we were in town and headed on out for a walk.




As the 'bump' is getting bigger we stopped for a little break at the Royal Cafe. Kind of quirky and fun, run by hipsters but I will defo go back.




The iced Latte was much needed as the weather was getting warm, and the cake.... well lets just say I might have diabetes now.





After a nap at the hotel we headed on out to TIVOLI GARDENS for a nice walk and a bite to eat.
We have not been here together since out first trip to Copenhagen almost 7 years ago.



It is rather pretty at night.





After a little walk we popped into 'Med Klubben' for a bite to eat.
Starter was so-so and my main (steak) beat Fee's Chicken.




Very pretty (and hungry) wife.




Heres to the next 14 years! :)

Starting fresh!

I know, I know....i've not been here for a while and for that i'm sorry.

Been traveling for work and super busy with home improvements so blogging has fallen by the way side.

Figured i'm not going to play 'catch up' as that would take FOREVER to blog....so lets just start fresh!

I'll get the ball rolling agin this weekend, I promise.

:P
