Oases in The Summerland

There are 250,000 holiday homes in Denmark. The houses are used extensively. Danes love their time at the cottage. They find peace in life and contrast to a busy everyday life out in nature - in the summer house!

Why are we so fond of holiday homes? Perhaps the summer in the north is so short that the joy and anticipation grows through a long, dark winter and is redeemed briefly and intensely in sun, light and warmth.So what is it you find in the summer country? The smell of summer, salt on the lips, sun-golden skin and morning dew in the grass. The classic smell of a house that has been closed down, the anticipation of being able to open the doors again and let in the whistle of birds and a lazy mumbler. Damp summer cushions, fish fillets with home-made remoulade and lots of crunchy, sweet Danish strawberries with cream.
