Aw Shucks!

Hi Bandit Girl,
It's been a busy summer here. Lots of people coming and going, which I like. Rereading your wonderful blog - fantastic photos of your child and your parents and grand-parents. Your picnic in the park looks a real treat. I was remembering the Copenhagen of long ago, there were very few black people there, but the music was always good (is it the Palace Hotel where musicians used to gather and sit at a big round table?) There were lots of Jazz clubs in those days and I always found the Danes to be 'good movers' . There were still American air bases in Denmark and the Danish girls who dated black Americans, spoke like black Americans. The coffee was always fresh and the people always friendly. I always came with a ticket to visit Sweden, but the people in my hotel always talked me out of going, it wasn't until I moved to Britain that I visited Sweden. One of my dreams at that time was to live in Europe and find all the black people who lived in countries - other than Britain, like Russia, for instance. But, life overtakes everything else and along came e-mail,
the immediate informant.
Your blog is informative, interesting, funny and the pictures were great.
