Ice Ice Ice Nice Iceland!

Hi everyone, I know that my blog is usually the bits and pieces I enjoy making but I had to change course a trifle and write about our fabulous long weekend in Iceland. Magical that's all I can say, we went with number 1 and number 3 daughter (no.2 is a mum and expecting  our second grandchild.)  It was a present from Kate our eldest as while we were away we celebrated our 45th wedding anniversary. One of the best trips I have ever been on I think!

The first day we donned sea gear and went whale watching and saw hump-backed whales and one of the first minky whales of the Spring that had been spotted.

 



This was a view from the boat, doesn't do it justice.
Here are the four of us in our sea going outfits, it was hysterical trying to get into them!
Even my eyeballs felt as if they were freezing at one point.
 

 This is a pair of show-offs that swam alongside the boat for quite a while, beautiful creatures.

We swam in the Blue Lagoon, the girls went horse riding over lava fields and then we did the Golden Circle tour where we visited stunning waterfalls:
 

Hot spurting Geysers:

 

Then chased the Northern Lights, but unfortunately in four nights we didn't see them, still a good excuse to return again in the future!

 

At about minus five degrees it was so cold! Still we were well wrapped up and the full moon was stunning.

Here is a fabulous sign that we spotted in Reykjavik:

 

Don't you just think Tim should turn this into a stamp? Brilliant! I didn't leave hubby in there though, he's my bestest friend and I wanted him with me,

Thanks Jack for 45 years of being with me, I love you to bits.

 

I  shall be back crafting asap. See you soon! x
