In most winters we don’t have snow or it is just for a few days. Not so this time; already before Christmas Denmark was covered by snow and it is still there. Cold is it, too, and on many days the wind provides a quite heavy chill effect. January may very well become one of the coldest since official measurements started back in 1874, they say.

The little lake, Lyngby Sø, a few kilometers from our home has frozen over and you can walk across it on the ice. This means that I have been on some tiny islands where I have never been before and where during spring and summer a lot of birds are nesting.

The kilt I’m wearing on the pics is in MacLeod of Harris tartan.

By the way: Could anyone help me with the pronunciation of MacLeod? Is it Mac Le_od or Ma_Cleo_od or Ma_Cloud?
