This is María Gréta, she helped me out on the Saturday morning, she also works for me in the office at Hólar.
Here he is the main man - the cook at Hólar - Óli frá Hellulandi, he is amazing, see the plates on the table - almost empty, it seemed like as soon as we put one platefull down it disappeared.
There were ofcourse some animals on show. Absolutely amazing weather....
Here is a four horned sheep - we have a few of these here - my uncle used to breed them. It was a pretty good weekend - but tiring - standing around smiling handing out food. Which ofcourse meant that the lawn did not get mowed.
Three weeks ... and it is almost knee high - looks green though!
Great news today, Olga and Ross are arriving on the 29th - and bonus - they are flying direct to Akureyri! Am so looking forward to seeing them. Hope the weather holds and stay as nice as it has. The berries are amazing and hey - Olga can go and do the sheep round up - I wonder if Ross will be keen too.....

Artic char paste - ummmm sounds good. Your booth looked quite interesting as well - I would have loved to hover nearby to hear about your school.
What is the use of a 4 horned sheep versus a 2 horned variety? I think it would be a trip to raise them.
Oh my, just look at your beautiful grass! Lush and pretty - looks good enough to sit down upon and have a picnic :) I'm bringing the wine - you bring the cheese.
Anytime! Wine and cheese sounds good, perhaps even a little arctic charr paté on the side.
I have never quite understood the 4 v 2 horn debate. There was a large ram in the hold next to this one that had really really huge curling horns both above and below and he managed to get stuck in the fencing, I quickly ran in and found some farmers to release it - did not dare do it myself...
Wow look at that grass!
At least there is no danger of snakes hiding in that grass eh.
The horned sheep are a curious number aren't they, looks like they didn't eat the crusts on their sandwiches.
