She's 6 and she told her farfar (me) this morning that it's the frogs (the amphibians, not that lot over there) which say "quack" in Denmark. She gets herself into hysterics when I try to pronounce some of the odder Danish words - thank God her dad is teaching her some English.
My favourite Danish town is
Slagelse
, pronounced
slaylser
and my all-time favourite Danish word is
hygge
which I understand to mean cosy and warm and at home with your loved ones. So it's not all Carls Ex, horned helmets and mucky books.
Indeed, Airsound, grandchildren are an unalloyed delight - with the added advantage that you can always hand them back...
