The Danish Three O'Clock - Florence , Kaffe and Kage

Let me tell you about the Danish person on a normal day.


Kind, warm and generous is the general demeanour of the Danish person- polite and respectful of others.


I will confess that this is my experience.

Danes eat fisk because there seem to be a lot of these critters/fisks in the North Sea. They eat it with rye bread, ground and made with own fair hands...... accompaniment can be a cheese- some like it smelly and others not.
When fisk is not being eaten, there will be many other delicious meats and such.... very tasty.

There is a strange thing , though, that is common among the Danish people.

You might be walking along a windswept beach- the harsh Northern blast tearing at your skin..
.. you might be looking for the amber that could be cast upon the beach..
look, a wooden seat

and the clock strikes three.

At the stroke of three you will spy a Danish person holding a Danish basket which will be placed on the table/seat.... a tablecloth is cast upon the frozen surface...
immediately we have a thermos

and cake

and cups

and
so the rite begins

Coffee and cake

it matters not the weather
no sun  makes no difference

three oclock is witching hour/ kaffe time


So this afternoon
before we swept onto the beach filled with the German battlements


we had coffe and cake
on a beach
in the wind....
