Sitting on the plane at Luton all ready to head off for our Icelandic adventure was not the time we wanted to hear the Captain announcing that there would be a delay as Iceland had just closed off their air space to all flights. This was not the best of starts! Bárðarbunga an Icelandic volcano in the lava field of Holuhraun was threatening to erupt. This news had been rumbling around for a couple of weeks before we left but we really did not think it would affect us! An hour and a half of slightly tense waiting on the plane followed before the pilot announced that airspace was open and we could fly. At least we would get there and would worry about getting back when that time came. The volcano did go on to erupt a couple of days before we left but the effects were localised and did not affect international flights – luckily!

Are you tired of being stuck in the office? Bored of being chained to a desk? Counting down the days until retirement?
Me too!!
