I’ve just turned 50 – woohoo! To celebrate arriving at such a grand old age, my family and I went to Iceland (the country, not the frozen food emporium – that would make for a very different post). Given that I’ve spent the past few years reading every Icelandic crime novel I can get my mitts on, and gazing daily, at Icelandic webcams, I was more than a little excited.

We spent a week there, the first few days Air B&Bing in Reykjavik, and then we hoped to head north for a few days depending on the weather. Luckily, we did manage to do that, although driving in the snowy north was pretty scary, and probably added a bit more ‘snow’ to the colour of my hair.

Anyway, here are some of my pics from our stay in the south.
