Winter and frost has come to Rekjavik, after days and days of rain and wind and wet and damp and blahhhh. It was a beautiful and clear day and a good day for a walk in the valley and up to the swimming pool for a soak in a hot pot. We all set off and took a good walk, just stopping every once in a while to throw stones on the frozen lake and watch them skip and skid.

The pool was good and hot. Kids had a good time splashing around. It was coming to a beautiful sunset as we walked back down the hill, still and clear and frost nipping at noses. Which meant hot chocolate and cakes as soon as we got in, before getting down to the business of homework and trumpet practice.
