Well Frederik is really enjoying himself it seems. And the 4th picture, wow, what a car........that is one very outstanding car. They, car companies today do not make cars like they used to , this is one chic classy car. And it must be chilly, wet cold there today? Isn't this August yet or am I asleep at the computer now ....weather is changing, climate is not behaving like it should or what here.

You said it! When I win the lottery I'm gonna have a dozen cars like that. There is in particular a classic Mercedes from the 30's I can see myself driving.

Way back when I knew someone in Oxford England whom I used to visit all the time and who bought these great old classic Rolls Royce's and had them restored to perfect condition. The he and wife brought them to the US, and sold them for tons of money. One time my machine broke and what did they do, picked up my laundry, my children and my dogs and off the laundromat in Weston Ct, in a rolls.......talk about getting looks at the laundromat.......with dogs, dirty clothes and my British friends who Nick was wearing a British T-shirt...had the time of my life then with them. So at one time I used to drive one of those fancy cars around town shopping here and there and so enjoying a rolls even though I did not know a thing about cars then...yet my friends taught me, so...

That is where I learned about those gorgeous cars and have loved them ever since so that car is mine, it has my name on it when I win the lotto and it is not for sale... you can look but do not touch...

I live about a 45 minute drive from Simrishamn and all I can say is that we've had a dreadful summer this year. Nothing but rain, winds and rarely, if ever, over 20 C degrees.

It's not unlikely Mary is coming, but I doubt it. The twins will just have started school and both parents leaving them, so soon after? Considering there could be transition problems for either Vincent or Josephine, I don't think so.

Mary is mentioned in this article as attending Audi Hamilton Race Week - otherwise known as "Hammo" - along side Frederik.

I hope so, lots of fashion parades, parties, luncheons and other events for the non-sailing wives.

And always a lot of coverage in Sydney's newpapers as so many Sydney-siders pop up there.

And another report saying Mary will be attending - (scroll down)-

It's also whale calving season and the waters around Hamilton Island are part of the area the whales use.

The yachts have to be aware, and try to keep away from them. (And if you watched the above highlights video, not easy.)

Thanks to Mary for taken these lovely pictures and share them with us

Mary and the children watched the Danish IRONMAN two days ago

A Dane (the woman on the picture) has posted this nice photo and writes:
"Thanks for the support of the IRONMAN run." (2 days ago)

https://scontent-arn2-1.xx.fbcdn.net...7c&oe=599E0EAD

Although Frederik did not run IRONMAN this year (and just had left to Australia), Mary, Christian, Bella, Vincer and Josephine were still down at the street and cheering on all the participants at Sunday's IRONMAN this year.

It's always nice to see how the CP-family just can and do walk relaxed on the local streets with the Danes.

A Dane met Mary the other day on a walk. And Mary must pet her dog

"One of our Facebook followers, Jane Qualmann, met our Crown Princess the other day and wrote this to us:

Molly thought Mary is fantastic to pet ❤️❤️
A very special and wonderful experience for both dog and owner ❤️❤️

I imagine he's a good deal more well known in USA than in DK.

The Copenhagen half marathon was today, Frederik did not participate but was there showing his support and took a selfie with one of the runners. Reading the captions some crazy weather .

How nice!
The Danish people love that they so relaxed meet their future King and Queen on the streets. Isn't it great.
People feel him, and he is one of them.

After attending an event at the opera the other day, Mary sailed back to Amalienborg across the harbor and at the quay by co-incidence stood a school-class who were in Copenhagen. Mary chatted them up, asked what they were doing and shook hands. - As you can see in this video: VIDEO: Kronprinsesse Mary overraskede skoleklasse | BILLED-BLADET

The teenagers were obviously taken aback and didn't quite know what to do, hence the giggling.
