"...again, we say goodbye ..."

Well, we arrived in Iceland last Friday and amma Siggas funeral is tomorrow (Monday). Despite the circumstances, it is nice to see my parents and the boys have really enjoyed their visit. Elijah has got amma and afi wrapped around his little finger, as it should be, and we hardly see Jolyon due to all his social engagements. Small people are struggling a bit with the 24 hour sun and getting up extremely early. Big people are taking the morning in shifts to solve that one. We will be heading back on Tuesday morning, really, really early and then it will be back to the old routine.

More unfortunate news. Last week our siamese, Penny, had been very poorly. After two vets visits and some consultations we had to have her put to sleep. She is a great loss the the Freysson-Burton household and our remaining Joy doesn't quite know what has happened. We have buried her in her favorite spot in our garden so she is resting peacefully. Such is life.

The weather in Iceland is lovely, as opposed to the wet in England, and we hope it will stay that way for tomorrow and for Joannas parents when they come over next weekend. So, until next time, as Jolyon would say ... asta la vista, baby!

Toti, Joanna, Jolyon and Elijah
