Good evening from Copenhagen! Last night I was out dipping with my Copenhagen Bluetits chill swimmer friends — just four of us this time, but we had such a lovely, calm evening together. We were celebrating the Supermoon, even though it was hiding behind the clouds, ha ha!
The air was surprisingly mild! Sea was cold, as usual… 11c/51f Brrrrr! Or, very refreshing, as we like to say!
I brought along my little mini bonfire and some sparklers for Bonfire Night (Guy Fawkes Night if you’re from the UK) for extra hygge. Love the sea and an open fire!
We kept cozy with homemade sausage rolls and romkugler washed down with plenty of hot tea — simple joys on a dark November night!
And if you’re following along with Week Three of our Minimalist Christmas series, you’ll know that getting outside for some fresh air was one of our self-care ideas this week. A perfect reminder that a quick walk — or even a chilly sea dip! — can do wonders for body and mind. (Or sparklers, for those of us who are just big kids at heart!)
What’s your self-care today?
Hugs

Add Yours →What a fun way to celebrate Bonfire Night! 🔥 You have such a lovely circle of friends and activities 🥹 Too many clouds here last night, so not even a glimpse of the moon for us ☹️ 🩷
Where did you get the little mini-bonfire? It looks great!
Hi Christine! It’s a mini “bioethanol” bonfire. I’ve had it for about 12 years (it was a gift from hubby and the kids as they know how much I love an open fire) 😁 I often use it when I am sitting outside in the garden on summer evenings – instant hygge!
Love this story, Diane! A good how-to for making a nice outing even more special.
Always so encouraging and inspiring! Where can I find the mini bon fire? Would love one for the winter. So fun!! Thanks for sharing 💕💕💕💕
Our super moon was hidden too but we saw a beautiful partial moon on Sunday night. We grew up calling that very cold water “brisk” or “refreshing” 😀 I still use that mindset to enjoy cold air during a walk. Thank you for the reminder of how important the fresh air is.
Today I’m going for a little walk around the block to view the remaining autumn leaves. Future Me will be very happy about this.
Have a good and hyyge day, Diane and all!
My yoga class. My yogini is amazing. Always feel calm and body aware after practice
Beautiful Diane ❤️
