- Go outside, ditch the phone, get humble: my top 10 Scandi life lessons after a decade in Denmarkby Helen Russell on 8. marts 2025 at 11:00
After 12 years, we’ve said goodbye to one of the happiest countries on Earth. From friluftsliv (the joy of the open air) to janteloven (realising you’re no better than others) here’s what I’ve learnedAfter more than a decade of Danish hygge, cycling through sleet, and learning to pronounce words made up mainly of vowel sounds, my family and I have moved back to the UK. And it’s been … bewildering. My Scandi adventure began as a one-year experiment when my husband’s job at Lego took us to Jutland, and I worked as a Scandinavia correspondent. But we found we loved living Danishly. We had three children – all born into a health system that to this day leaves me in awe. And I dedicated 12 years to researching what makes the Nordic countries so special (as well as where they fall short). I enjoyed a more straightforward existence, where once you knew the (very clear) social rules and how to play by them, life was relatively easy. But in September we head back to the UK, driven by family and work commitments. We moved to the countryside, swapping Danish bakeries and design shops for tractors and a scarcity of street lights. My children miss their friends, their school, the only home they’ve ever known and the culture they have grown up in. We’ve had to start over. The question is: can we bring a slice of Denmark home with us, or have I ruined British life for ever by becoming too Danish? Here are 10 lessons I’m holding on to. Continue reading…

- Schmeichel review – a spirited celebration of Man United’s great Daneby Andrew Pulver on 20. februar 2025 at 7:00
Goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel reflects on his Champions League triumph, on-pitch aggression, double-agent dad and son Kasper in a fan-friendly documentaryThis is a pretty respectable entry in the current corporate-landfill era of sports documentaries. It’s the customary slavishly admiring portrait of its subject, the Danish goalkeeper who anchored Manchester United to a string of league titles and Denmark to the European Championships, but you are left with a sense that, somehow, Peter Schmeichel is a big enough character to justify it. Inevitably, the film also acts as yet another outpost of the “Football, bloody hell!” documentary industrial complex, with one more airing of the footage of United’s Champions League final triumph.Admittedly, there’s now an extra dimension to Clive Tyldesley’s strangulated shrieks as United scored their winner: this was Schmeichel’s last game for the side, having unexpectedly announced his exit from the team earlier in the season. It’s a piquant moment when he raises the cup as his last act. And while he’s talked about it before, it’s still a little sad to hear him say: “Of course it was a massive mistake leaving Manchester United.” Schmeichel talks about how changing his mind might have been interpreted as a sign of weakness by manager Alex Ferguson, and perhaps he might be right, but you can feel the jolt when he shows up to play against United for Manchester City, and gets the cold shoulder from former compadre Gary Neville.
