Groenvingers HELP Plant Paramedics

Groenvingers HELP Plant Paramedics

After two-and-a-half kilometres I realised that I should have been walking in the opposite direction. As I turned around, I saw this bulb on the edge of the cycle lane of Tuborgvej.

Today is the fifth day it’s been living – or dying – in my care. The leaves are dying. and a white fungi (or some other disease) formed around the roots. How do I save this plant?

Jul in Nebbegaardsbekken

Jul, the Danish Christmas, is celebrated throughout December - with a variety of traditions. Last night the staff from EPOKE celebrated Jul at our guests’ house in a picturesque area of Copenhagen.

The cutest of cute red brick houses in Nebbegaardsbekken were built a century ago. I was far too cold to take a picture, but enjoy this one of Flemming Wulff Jansen.

In 2 °C warmly dressed toddlers on push-bikes enjoyed the outdoors in the dusk twilight.

To light up the environment and lift the spirit, burning candles and fairy lights are everywhere.

Blowing in the wind

How many roads must a woman walk down
Before they call her equivalent
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand
How many times must the cannonballs fly
Before they are forever banned
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind

How many years must a mountain exist
Before it is washed to the sea
How many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free
How many times can a woman turn her head
And pretend that she just doesn't see
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind

How many times must a woman look up
Before she can see the sky
How many years must one woman have
Before she can hear people cry
How many deaths will it take till she knows
That too many people have died
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind
