My new bargain padded ski-jacket purchased for Iceland promises this:
I hope they're right. We also hope Reykjavik will look like this:
and not like this:
Alternate realities of the situation both according to the Iceland Monitor, which is threatening hurricane force snow laden winds tomorrow. Let's hope they've passed through by Wednesday. Keflavik airport all seems to be functioning regardless, according to their website.
Peggy, Sidney and Milly will be looking after the house for us, with their human companions. They nearly didn't get here either, since their ferry was cancelled and the next one postponed, and then the crossing was rough, but everybody appears to have weathered the crossing with no worse bodily expulsions than the evidence of a drop of wee in the vicinity of the driver's seat from Sidney; how he adopted the position required for this is a mystery, it seems. But they are all on the road heading this way now.
I'll be on-line only sporadically for the next week or so. Wish us luck in the frozen north.

The caval... Caninery is on the way! You have the wool, you have the jacket, you'll be wonderful.
Hehe, that was a treat to see that post again, I love the photographs of Peggy and Sidney with the hat on on!
Have a wonderful time in Iceland!
Those dogs look like they LOVE Brittany. I think your house will be well cared for while you're away.
Good luck. Have a great trip!
Super-powerful good luck vibes for your journey, Iceland, everything.
Have a wonderful eye-opening, eye and belly-warming Christmas and a bientôt. Much love to you both.
PS: where are the dog photos? Can't see any!
Have a fantastic time!!
have an absolutely wonderful trip, my darlings! stay warm and enjoy the breathtaking beauty of iceland!
Reykjavik looks radioactive to me; don't forget to wear a brown paper bag when you're out on the streets; we don't want you coming back metamorphosed. Have a super time. Don't invest in any Icelandic banks. Or any other banks, come to think of it.
Bon Voyage and happy holidays Lucy and Tom. Loved the "house sitters" !
All good wishes for a smooth trip and wonderful experiences. Good Yule!
Have a wonderful time if you manage to get there (I've just seen a report that says you must not leave the house after 5pm if you are in south Iceland!)
Safe journey, looking forward to exceptional pictures!
I wish you more than luck! Safe and joyful adventure, good sleep, yummy food, cozy times, beautiful scenes, warmth and cheer. Have a wonderful time!
Looking forward to be regaled with stories and pictures of this
upcoming adventure of yours.
Iceland is smack on the mid-Atlantic Ridge and largely if not totally a product of volcanism. The upwelling of the planet's heart uses that crack in the skin of our planet to recycle it's substance and give it air in the case of Iceland and sea water along the rest of the ridge.
This is one place I would like to see but never will in all probability.
I will trust you and Tom will have a marvelous and utterly safe trip. Any lesser outcome will have me climbing up to heaven for a word or two with the supervisory trip fairies. Those cobbers rarely appear on our planet except in signatures on triplicate forms. I have had reason to find them before. I know where they are.
Skál! Hold on to your hats in the windy country and have a magical Yule! Say hello to the Yule Lads for me and eat a bowl of Skyr.
Oh, I hope you had a lovely time! I want to go there too, but not in winter...
