The Bread Station | Charlottenlund

When I return from the beach or a walk in the woods, I sometimes end up near the Charlottenlund Station; which is an urban railway system with sections of tracks that are out in the open. The velocity of the these electric-powered trains speeding by and then stopping (braking) makes a very distinctive noise and sends a little rush up my spine.

After walking around for several hours, a small coffee/snack break is much needed, and so I like to stop at a place called The Bread Station. I was a bit skeptical when I first saw the sign for it, since this place was actually located at the train station! But as soon as I checked it out further, I knew I had to try it.

Actually, I keep making excuses to go back. The Bread Station is an organic bakery with just a few tables and chairs for guests, both in and outside. You can have freshly baked bread and cakes, and delicious coffee drinks. Very recommendable! Love, Sharon

Gentofte Flea Market | Charlottenlund

Last Sunday I was strolling around and came across a huge gathering of cars, people, bikes, noise... Turned out to be a weekly flea market behind the train station. It was beyond any expectations I would have had, had I had any!

The market was pretty big and had a great mix of second hand designer clothes, cheaper labels and lots of great children's clothes and toys. In fact you can easily bring children to a market like this since the toys are placed on the ground so they can look at stuff and even play with them.

I left the flea market with a new (old) pair of lace-up boots by Angulus, which were only 20 DKK and a Samsonite hard-shell suitcase, which will be a replacement for the failed one I bought from the Goodwill in Prescott, Arizona.

Note that the official name of the flea market is Gentofte Loppemarked (flea market), but most people refer to it as Charlottenlund flea market.

p.s. There are lots of wild blackberry bushes in this area and will revisit the bushes on my next foraging trip :-) Love, Sharon
