After an incredible week of glaciers, snowstorms and icebergs (plus a surprise proposal!), our time in Iceland ended with a couple of days in Reykjavik. I’ve already talked about where we stayed; now it’s the turn of the city itself. The world’s most northerly capital is an intriguing little place. It’s tiny – around half the size of Bristol – and feels a little like a frontier town thanks to . . .
Iceland | A beautiful Reykjavik apartment
I’ve spent the past couple of evenings looking through the last of the thousands (yes, thousands!) of photos that I took in Iceland and reminiscing about Reykjavik, the final leg of our trip.

Home tour | A revamped North Vancouver house
I’m heading across the Atlantic for my latest home-tour post – a beautiful Canadian abode which fuses industrial and rustic styles to stunning effect.
