British ambassador Vivien Life was among the many who descended on the St Albans Church Summer Fete on Saturday August 22 in Churchillparken. And once again, it didn’t disappoint, providing fun, frivolity and festivities for the whole family. New this year were competitions to guess the weight of the cake and number of sweets in the jar – the same person didn’t win both however. That would have been just plain greedy.

The Danish prime minister, coming back from the summit in Paris, wrote a post on Facebook to explain what happened during the meeting and to make public the position of the Danish government.
Companies in Denmark are bringing in international talent but failing to support them beyond the workplace, leaving many expats isolated and struggling to integrate. Organizations like Settle in Denmark and Homestead Denmark are stepping in to fill the gap.
Public holidays are days when most workplaces, schools, and government offices are closed. Many stores may also have limited opening hours or be closed entirely.
