Good luck with the move and everything. I love Scandinavia and they'll probably have a better summer in Norway than we will. Getting back on track, surely you could make it a flying visit - fly over on the Sunday night or even early on the Monday morning and home by Tuesday in plenty of time...
I'm also in the "grow some" camp but I'd be interested to know her reasons for not "letting" him go? Who knows, they could actually be justified. (I'm also dying to know where this other country is.) Anyway, you'll all be glad to know that my own other half has my permission to go to Bristol...
I remember the Blue Peter Appeals because my dad worked at the BBC and people would dump milk bottle tops, stamps, scrap metal etc on us that the poor bugger would have to carry up on the train. One year it was keys and my mum was organising a jumble sale at the same time. Someone had brought...
When I had a season ticket at Wimbledon, I always used to wash my hair on matchdays for good luck. After about five years when we hadn't won the Premiership, the League Cup, the FA Cup or the Champions League, I realised my shiny locks were probably not responsible for wins, losses or draws...
Me too.
Incidentally, my nephew was supposed to be staying with us last night after a pub crawl of our local town which has something like 17 pubs. He turned up this morning to pick his car up as he never made it back here last night. Hope to God he didn't get stopped, he REEKED of booze and...
Outdoor hot springs yes.
Don't think there's an ice hotel or bar. Think there's one in Sweden and/or other more northerly places. But it might not have been built yet this year - probably not cold enough.
You can book the trips when you get there - your hotel can do it for you and they're not extortionate. Our trip was with Icelandair which included one trip out to see the Northern Lights (we were lucky). It cost under £300 for three nights. Autumn is actually the best time to see the Lights...

Somewhere in the depths of my purse I have a Albion supporting friend's instructions, which I know include GOSBTS. Couldn't agree more about Caliban's Dream - it's on repeat on the CD in my car - the most beautiful words and such uplifting music, even the whistling.
Whatever you do, don't try it with rose hips. Minging. I had been hoping for alcoholic rose hip syrup.... However, may I recommend chocolate orange vodka? Drink some of the vodka, top up bottle with chopped up chocolate orange (rougly one part vodka to one part chocolate orange, i.e. half a...
Mine didn't but you could do loads of other stuff on it, like making phone calls, making phone calls, making phone calls... oh, and you could make phone calls.
One of these teeny-tiny things in about 1992. (pretty sure the mic was on the other side though - which was better for me being a left hander)
Well you did ask!
