September 2015 15:09 by Rene Pallesen | 0 Comments TweetHere are some more photos from my childhood in no particular order. The first ones from a New Years ShareHere are some more photos from my childhood in no particular order. The first ones from a New Years eve where we got a bit silly with the hats. These were taken at a New Years even in Kenya and before my brother got really sick, so probably around 1989/90.And here is Claus.And my mum.I was really good at shooting when I was a kid and won lots of championships. This photo is one of the few things I have from that time.This is Claus and I with our dog.Not sure which ones of these is Claus and which is me.This was taken just christmas day in the back yard of my grandma's (Mormor) house. We got the skis as a christmas present. All the fields behind her house belonged to my mothers brother Flemming.I think this may be my brother. For the first time I've noticed the photo in the background. It looks like this may be a photo of my mum with her two sisters and brother and what could be her dad Raimer in the middle.This would most likely be the new years eve where we were trapped by the snow 1978/79. We were supposed to have celebrated with the family but couldn't even get out of the house. Delicious with a glass of milk and a pie.We didn't have a lawn in the back yard. Instead we had pebbles...lots of fun shoveling them.This I think is a christmas eve dinner at my grandmas (mormor) place. My mum on the left and my uncle Flemming in the middle. Not sure who the person standing up in. It could be my grandmas brother. Possibly from around 1976/77I think it is my great grandpa (Raimer) in the middle row number two from the left. The title of the photo says that it is Christoffer (??) in the top left corner. Looking at the age of the boys this would have been taken in the 1920's.Claus dancing aeound the christmas tree and my mum and grandma (Bedstemor/Farmor).From left to Right.

This time the boys and Kim graded to their first brown belts and I graded to my third brown belt.We were supposed to have graded about a month ago, but because of Kims dad's funeral we had to postpone it for a month.It therefore turned out to be just a mini grading with just the four of us as a family.Now it will be quite a while before any of us are grading again. The boys need to get a fair bit stronger before grading for the next belt based on the feedback. I will need to start working towards the black, so Kim will probably be the next one grading towards the end of the year.\\ 25. April 2022 20:04 by Rene Pallesen 0 Comments Camping Lake Lyell 25.

This one is from 1913.One day we went mushroom picking. These ones you definitely can't eat.And these ones you can.First time I have seen a Leopard Slug.A pretty good picking...The kids found a bird skeleton.

Eventually we had to consult the instructions.Sunset sceneryIt was raining so we gathered under the canopy.Lots of curious ducks (waiting to be fed).Spotted a 2016 vintage from Coonawarra...had to try it.Scenery from our camp ground.Great selfie with Lucas and I.More spectacular scenery.Cuties in the hammock.I have seen steam tractors in museums before, but this is the first time I have seen one that is still functioning. This one is from 1913.One day we went mushroom picking. These ones you definitely can't eat.And these ones you can.First time I have seen a Leopard Slug.A pretty good picking...The kids found a bird skeleton. It could be a dead lyrebird, or maybe a dodo.
