  • Danish words and what they (might) mean

    Anya Jensen 19th April 2017

    Anya Jensen 13th March 2017

    So spring is not quite here yet. Guess someone forgot to send the memo, and winter is still very much present, with blistering cold winds, grey skies and the occasional drizzle of snow. But I am still hopeful that the beloved sun will arrive soon,…
