The plan was to go to Sagnlandet Lejre, a 43 hectare open air park, south of Roskilde. Here, there are re-created buildings from the Iron Age, the Stone Age, the Viking era and the 19th century. However, shortly after we arrived and had lunch in the car park, it came on to rain so we decided to give it a miss, saving the best part of £30. As it was early afternoon by then, we decided to call it a day and headed for where we planned to spend the night, not too far away. It's a farm that does B&B and there are three spaces for camper vans and there are now three here.
I've been out walking for a couple of miles in the evening sun, sheltering under a tree to avoid a brief shower. Tomorrow we plan to spend the day in Roskilde.

Enough relaxing, so we decided to move on, and set
off for another interesting sounding open air museum south west of
Roskilde. A closed road, and a lengthy diversion through very
pleasant countryside, meant that we didn't arrive until lunchtime.
After a sandwich in the campervan, the rain started! We also realised
that these places are really geared to people wanting to spend the
whole day there, which does not fit in with our usual daily schedule,
so once again we moved on. We felt no great disappointment, and
perhaps have learnt a lesson.
On our way to our overnight destination, not far south of Roskilde, G suddenly turned off the road and stopped in the car park by a church, virtually in the middle of nowhere. One of those delightful unexpected moments - a little gem. The church itself was closed - we have yet to find one open - but the graveyard was beautifully kept and very attractive, walled, and with gravestones enclosed by their own hedges, with flowering bushes and a lovely view of the surrounding countryside from the slightly elevated position. An added bonus was that there was a loo in the car park, which WAS open, spotlessly clean and supplied with all the necessaries.
These country churches are all painted bright white, and look modern, but according to our Danish neighbours they are actually much older than they look, just well maintained, and you need to go inside to appreciate their age!
Tonight we are in an inland countryside location for a change, in the grounds of a private house which does B&B as well as accommodating three campervans. There are chickens, and a peacock. This site was not from our trusty Camperstop book, but from an app called Motorhome Parkings recommended by our Danish neighbours of the last couple of nights, now downloaded. If this site is anything to go by, it is going to prove an excellent addition to our library of resources.
When we arrived there was just one other campervan, but we have since been joined by another, and several vans which have disgorged a number of workmen of various types, all of whom seem to have rooms here. And it looks like we are all sharing one loo/shower room as well. I fear queues!
