(Part two)
30:00 - She discovers a fledgling, a swallow, on the net. Who has just learned to fly. "... Ooh, but it really is difficult". (30:16).
31.00 - The robo-mover. QMII has as you know never been interested in technology, but it works and it's a tremendous help, because of the huge lawns.
The dachhunds were initially deeply fascinated and barked and jumped around the movers.
31:45 - "... Then they worked out that if they stood right in front of them (the movers) they could make it stop. And that confused them even more! Bit now it seems like they take them for granted".
When the DRF are not in residence the park is open to the public and the locals very much use the park. The circular bench is a particular favorite among the public. It was a present on her 70th birthday.
When sitting there QMII talks about the bench being good, because several people can sit here without necessarily having to interact.
H.C. Andersen visited Gråsten back in the 1800's when Gråsten was owned by a noble family and it was here he wrote The Little Match Girl.
33:43 - There are quite a few swans (DK's official national bird BTW) in the pond and "Here the swans have been on land and done what swans do... The worst thing is if the dogs find out and wants to perfume themselves. They can come up with that. THAT is no fun - when you get them inside again"!
34:14 - "Mind the swan-poos, they are big"!
34:30 - In late 1944 Gråsten was turned into a lazaret by the Germans and a few employees from the court rushed down to take the furnitures to safety in the church. But this table was left behind as the only thing, it was simply too heavy! (35:01)
The Germans left in June 1945 and the DRF returned in the late summer of 1945.
Back in the chapel, she talks about death.
She likes going to church, she likes following the year within the church calendar and to hear the sermons, that sometimes are good and at other times less than interesting, but then it shouldn't be a sensation every time she believe. It's just as much about being there.
She is well aware that statistically speaking it's closer now than it used to be. It's not something she thinks about that much though. And she tries to explain that as a Christian she is glad that to her death is not the end, it's not total oblivion.
(38:25-39:55) Death - "It's not a positive thing as such. But it's... It's something that is there... it's... It's that way it is, where there is life, there is death. But... But it's not JUST that. Eeh, it's more than the grass withering only to reemerge with the seeds. It's also not just that, it's something else after all, I think. That's what I believe you find in your Christian faith. - That one is not alone in... To say it bluntly, there... One shall not go into death alone, Jesus has been there himself. That I think is the essential. - But that doesn't mean you won't be very sad and probably afraid too when it comes closer. But for the time being the statistics say that the end is closer than it used to be".
40:50 - This house used to be lived in by the gardener, but after the DRF took over it became a kind of playhouse for the children and a place to be away from the main building.
Swings: "This you probably never become too old to do".
Then it starts to rain and she urges the crew to seek shelter inside, and also her LiW.
- And with that a very endearing portrait of QMII ends. It has been really enjoyable and also very interesting series for me to watch.
I hope it will eventually be shown abroad, otherwise you have to write DR1 and your local networks demanding they show it.
