Hi Everyone, I too would like to convey my deepest and heartfelt sympathy to those whose lives have been affected by this terrible act of terrorism in London. It is so tragic that we are living in this kind of world today where hatred can stem from religion and politics and bring about such merciless attacks on innocent people, when the opposite effect ought to be achieved. We have just had President Bush in Denmark on a 16 hour visit and we have never seen such security before. Doesn't he get paid enough danger money for his job? The risk of being killed is surely part of the job just like the job of the soldiers that he sends out to war. I cannot even begin to imagine the cost of the security for this one little 16 hour visit and then the same circus started all over again when he arrived in Scotland from Denmark. Maybe the security system would be better employed protecting the people! This visit to little old Denmark left everyone dumfounded. The airport had big delays both days because it and the airspace around Copenhagen was completely closed for an hour before he arrived and left again in his 2 presidential planes and goodness knows how many helicopters. The motorways were closed for an hour before he drove on them. The Queen's summer residence, Fredensborg, (means peace palace, ironically!), where he spent the night was sealed off for 3 days with enormous barricade lorries, barbed wire, police and secret service agents and gunmen were on the roof of the palace. The people who live along the avenue leading up to the palace couldn't have there door open for 3 days nor drive their car in and out. He only made one very brief public appearance for a short press conference. His visit caused immense upheaval and didn't do very much for his reputation here in Denmark where we have a very relaxed and free lifestyle. I just hope that it stays that way but according to the statement made by the culprits of today's vicious attack, Denmark is now threatened to be a target. Best wishes and keep bobbin' along from a lacemaker who has great difficulty understanding this world we live in. Avril -- And on the 8th day, God created golf courses and lacemakers........
