Today was also the day that they turned on the christmas tree.
The kids and helpers are switching the "on" button...
As a part of todays festivities there were businesses and others holding markets and stuff for folk to spend the day in the old part of town. There is an enterprising bunch of women that work in the local primary and after school care that have created a club called maddömur... they took over an old house here in the old part of town that no one seems to own and have created a little handicrafts shop (only open on special town occasions) and today they opened their little hut and provided free meat soup to anyone who cared to imbibe. Well, after the cold at the tree lighting ceremony I decided to give them a visit and partook of the soup (anyone who knows me knows that lamb soup is not a fave... however today - I really really really did enjoy it)... My cousin Guðný - newly arrived from her Australian holiday is one of these enterprising women and so I grabbed this great shot of her...
Just like the angel that she is - I really am so blessed with the family that I have here!
Previously I went for a walk with Freyja and took some shots of the town and of horses... 'cos that's what you do -
yes ok.. there is a bit of evil eye happening there.....
This is a standard... a view of my little hood.....
and then to end things off... mum... she is a classic.

I love the look of your hood from above, it's like one of those Christmas villages. I've missed the boys.
Yes I love that one of the houses from above too. How lucky are you to be able to see your house from above but so close! It looks unreal with the powdering of snow on the roofs. We're going to put up our Chrissy decorations very soon. Maybe after the chaos of the kitchen renovation is finished. Can't wait for that!
I think it looks best in winter - also it's the only time you can actually see my house (no leaves in the way)
