After two Messiah perfomance in London I was ready to fly back to Denmark for Christmas. I was fortunate to get out on time. That very day the weather turned chilly - we did have quite a delay due to fog but we arrived safely in Copenhagen where I had a chance to spend a few days christmas shopping and visiting friends.
Our trip back to Bornholm was delayed due to the threat of snow storm but we made it in the end. However the strom did arrive on the 22nd in the evening. I just made it home from a visti in Rønne before it turned absolutely nasty. Soon all major roads were closed by snow. The average depth was 1.35m. After a week diggers arrived from the rest of Denmark to help and by New Years eve we were finally able to get almost anywhere we wished - that is if we had had a car. The busses only started running after a normal schedule on 3.1.
The snow did have it's merits. Apart from being just beautiful I had another chance to go
cross country skiing while the roads were not completely cleared and covered in ugly salt. Otherwise I enjoyed the cast iron stove and worked on various promotio material for the website and Due Corde. Visits to friends were canceled but the phone was used quite a bit and with much work done on the computer I am ready for another term with studies, students, performances and everything else.
