An explanation is in order

So, you may be asking yourselves – why a station in Denmark? That’s a two-part question, really. Firstly, why a property in Denmark at all? And secondly, why a station?

The first answer is easy; property in Denmark is cheap. Seriously cheap. It would be vulgar to discuss the price of Onsevig Station here, but let’s just say you could buy a decent car for the money in the UK, but nothing you could live in. The downside, and the reason why the ‘Homes Under the Hammer’ brigade haven’t indulged in a feeding frenzy, is that you have to be a Danish citizen in order to buy a house there. Luckily for us, the Good Lady Wife (henceforth the GLW) has dual citizenship. She has a Danish passport and everything, and as such is entitled to purchase the house of her choice.

So to the second part of the question – why a station? Well, why not? Rural Denmark is littered with lovely properties, and the GLW browses the estate agents’ websites of an evening in much the same way that I look at guitar sites. Onsevig Station caught her eye, and on a visit to her sister she arranged to have a look at it, fell in love, and the rest is history.
