MOLLEHUSVEJ BORDER CROSSING — She drives from the Danish side, in her Toyota Yaris. He cycles from the German side, on his electric bike.She brings the coffee and the table, he, the chairs and the schnapps.Then they sit down on either side of the border, a yard or two apart.And that is how two octogenarian lovers have kept their romance alive despite the closure of the border that falls between his home in the
very north of Germany and hers in the very south of Denmark.Every day since the police shut the border
to contain the virus, Karsten Tüchsen Hansen, an 89-year-old retired
farmer, and Inga Rasmussen, an 85-year-old former caterer, have met at
the Mollehusvej border crossing to chat, joke and drink, while
maintaining a modicum of social distance.
“We’re here because of love,” said Mr. Tüchsen Hansen, when I visited them last week. “Love is the best thing in the world.”
Then he poured another glass of schnapps. Thanks, "Rad Nana"!
Just because ...
A smile for Sunday ...

What a touching story you tell, Jacki. I love to read how creative this couple is to find a way to deal with these crazy circumstances. And best of it, it isn't a matter of age.
Have a good start into the new week and stay safe.
Thank you, Elenor you are always so kind and encouraging. How is your weather? Are you on homestay? Do people wear masks when outdoors? We have most complying but some rebelling. I drive somewhere about once or twice a week to keep the battery up. Please take good care, Elenor.
