Hvad var vel i verden det fattige liv
med al dets fortærende tant,
om ikke en plet med en dal og lidt siv
vort hjerte i skælvinger bandt!Jeppe Aakjær Der dukker af disen min fædrene jord. 1904
My parents bought the summerhouse at Havnsoe Strand about 1940, because my mother had been ill with miscarriages and needed the fresh air. The familiy has been living there every summer since then. And the wondeerful bulk of memories filled with so many beautiful moments of swimming, eating, sailing and just being alive still live in the house near the sea.
