So, which map should we go for?

My husband and I were visiting a little vintage fair in Stoke Newington when we stumbled across a stall selling some gorgeous 1960's educational maps. We immediately both agreed that one of these would make the perfect addition to our Dalston flat and decided to split the cost to get one on the spot.

Out of the selection of half a dozen maps we singled out one of France (where I was brought up) and one of Denmark (where my husband's from). After much deliberation about colours, sizes, and who's country generally looks better on a map we decided to go for the danish one and went back home to hang it up on our wall.

Less than a week later I got some bad news from work:

The company for which I worked was having to make some employees redundant and my job as a social media manager was on the line.
The further development of the events that week meant that I found myself on gardening leave with a little spare cash to carry me over the next couple of months.

Instead of panicking we decided that this could be the perfect opportunity to start a new "adventure" - and going to live to Copenhagen seemed like the perfect choice.

Here we are now: it's been less than a week since our initial decision and we have barely three weeks left before our official move-out date!

I do wonder what would have happened if we would have got the map of France?!
