Long time, no see!

The last time I saw my cousin was when her eldest daughter was christened...10 years ago!

My cousin emigrated to Iceland not too long after her daughter was christened, and even though she tries to visit the UK every year, we just never had chance to visit.

I made the 3 hour (each way) journey to my Aunts house to visit, and meet the 2 kids I hadn't yet met!

We went to the beach in Fairbourne and I took the kids in the sea. The water was freezing cold and my jeans were soaking wet after going knee-deep in the water! Luckily I had a change of clothes in the car!

I took a few photographs before I left, and although they're not great, they're good memories!

I'm hoping it's not another 10 years before we meet up again! Hopefully Des & I will be able to save some money and then we can spend a week in Iceland visiting!

Great pictures Claire, how come she emigrated to Iceland ? you dont very often hear of people emigrating there.

She worked in Australia for a year, and met her husband (who is Icelandic). They lived in Wales for a while, and then in Swindon, then they decided to emigrate to be closer to his family.

It's definitely an unusual place to emigrate to, but I hear (and have seen pics) that it's a beautiful country!
