My mother worked as an office assistant at &#8220;Det Danske Hedeselskab&#8221;, but also took care of my fathers entrepreneur business, him and me.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #000000;\">My father died when I was 4 years old, and I only remember him vaguely.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #000000;\">I went to school in Viborg, but all weekends and holidays, I spent with my grandparents, uncles and cousins in the countryside outside Viborg and they supplied the close family I didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have at home.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #000000;\">When I left school after &#8220;Realeksamen&#8221; I worked as an au pair for a while. After that I went to the International People\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s College at Helsingore. After that I started laboratory school, and got employment in the printing inks industry, where I have worked most of my life apart from two years working with Fan Milk in Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #000000;\">I met and later married a Nigerian, and have lived my married life alternately in Denmark and Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #000000;\">In Nigeria I became greatly involved in the organisation called Nigerwives. It is an organisation for foreign women married to Nigerians \u00e2\u20ac\u201c living in Nigeria, but after returning to Denmark we carry it on, as we are quite a number of Danes who have all lived in Nigeria, and our common experiences binds us together. We meet irregularly about once a month, and once a year bring our families together at the yearly family-party. Last year we went for a highly successful holiday in Berlin, and we are currently planning our next trip.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #000000;\">&#8220;Parle vous francais&#8221; In my young days, when I had just met my husband Charles we lived in Paris for about half a year.
