New Year


So here we are at the start of a New Year, full of potential and the unknown.  Last night to see the end of 2009 some friends gathered at my house for a night of feasting. 

Here is Olga preparing the smoked salmon california rolls. 

She did an extremely good job. 

For entre it was the california rolls along with smoked salmon on toast.  There were 11 of us... 

No more photos were taken by me of the food or the dinner table as I was too busy eating and drinking, for main it was smoked back of pig and leg of lamb, dessert was the old favourite - the berry thing.....


After dinner we played a game called party and co - not bad - did not manage to finish it before the end of year comedy was on the television.  This years was pretty good, we all laughed and that is always a good sign.


Once this was over it was almost time to walk up the hill... We decided to go up to the cemetery this year and watch the fire works in town from up there - good decision - the view was amazing.  The fire works lasted for about 20 minutes.






Guðný and Bryndís....






Woke up today just after midday and after the essential cup of coffee, took Freyja for a walk.  It was another beautiful day in Skagafjörður.  The crows were having a bit of a meeting down by the old post office.  These two stayed to let me take their photo.

California rolls along with smoked salmon on toast sounds absolutely delicious. Interestingly enough, I grilled a leg of lamb for New Years too, it was so tasty it made my tongue slap my brains clean out!!
