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. My grandma (On my dads side/Bedstemor/farmor), Knud Aage (My uncle/dads brother), My mum (in the foreground), My grandad (in the background), Irene (my auntie/dads sister), Grete and I assume the baby is Vinnie which means that it is likely that my mum was pregnant with Claus (born in July).This was taken at my grandparents place and after my brother got sick. He was really suffering at this point.This is one of the happiest family photos I have and the only one I have a print of.Going for a walk at Marielyst with Lott and Willy some of our german friends. Claus in the foreground and my dad on the right. I think you can just spot me in yellow pants in the background.I think this is at Lotte and Willy's summer house.Not sure if this is Claus or myself being babtised. It is my grand mother being god mother.This was taken outside our summer house in Marielyst.My brother number 2 from the top right on his school photo.Claus at daycare number 4 from the top left.Me at day care top left.

You can tell that the photo was shot in black and white and that the negative was later coloured (badly). It would be my mum in the middle with her two sisters Eli (the oldest on the right) and Yrsa.This is my mum in the middle with what I assume is cousins.I think it is my grandmother (Karen) holding my mum.Here is the same as the first photo, but this time without the colour.My mum and her sisters playing in the courtyard of their farmMy mum with her older sisters.Eli, Yrsa, Sonja and Flemming Kragh.Having her photo taken as a little girl.Upset about having her photo taken?My mum with her younger brother Flemming.As a liitle girlMy mum in school.From left to right...Eli, Yrsa my mum (Sonja) and Flemming.As a young girls/woman...possibly from her Konfirmation.My mum as a girl scout (no 4 from the left).It is Flemming in the middle and my mum on the right.

A lot of them are unique that they are large dogs with very short legs.They are also able to feed themselves by catching and eating fish in the lagoon.

This was mainly so that we had a spare day in case the weather closed in and we couldn't fly to the glacier.From there we drove to Queenstown via Wanaka and the Crowns Range (another long drive). We were lucky that this was open and that snow chains weren't required.Here we stayed for 5 nights whereafter we went to Twizel near Mount Cook for two night.Lastly we drive back to Christchurch to fly out.Queenstown is a scenic place, but lost of other scenic places along the way. 23.

Mind you, back then there was probably another 100 metres of ice on top of where we landed on this day. 23. August 2023 19:08 by Rene Pallesen 0 Comments New Zealand 2023 - Skiing 23.

Some friends of our joined us in Queenstown, so for the other days I had Tod to go with, who is a very decent snowboarder.Aiden and Lucas are both becoming good skiers, but especially Lucas is getting really good to the point where I can bring him onto black runs.Although Kim is still very much a beginner she still did two days of skiing sticking to the beginner slope where there is a 'magic carpet' lift. I did see some improvement to last year, but she is still too scared to go on the proper lifts.I bought my own ski boots last year and brought them along (my feet are not compatible with rental ski boots). << Older posts Newer posts >> Newer posts12345678910...9394Older posts SearchInclude comments in search Newsletter Get notified when a new post is published.
