Monday Ice: Through the Windows of Brimnes

Another book recommendation this time from Maja...and in looking for information about it I stumbled across this lovely little video. Brimnes is a cottage in Hofsós, one that I have seen many times and always thought I would love to live there as it is right on the coast and has an amazing view.  I am hoping I can borrow the book to read from a bookclub member.

    Now that my system has been upgraded I can enjoy your videos as much as I do your posts and pictures!
    I followed that link and laughed at your friend's "Queen Mother." :-)

    I never got to meet Bill, but as our state poet laureate he expressed a love for Iceland that I can only hope to share in. Thanks for the reminder of his life.

      Hi Jon, I managed to get hold of a copy of his book Through the Windows of Brimnes and am loving it.

    Glad you're enjoying the book! Sad to hear that Bill has died, I didn't realise. His poetry is great, I'd forgotten what a good medium it could be, because it's been so long since I read or heard good poetry! I must read Through the Windows of Brimnes again. By the way I really enjoyed A Woman in the Polar Night.

    Thanks for the introduction to Bill through this video. I now have even more inspiration to move to Iceland. Woo hoo will read his book "Through the Windows of Brimnes"! George and I had a wonderful time meeting you and staying at your place. Thanks for the great new memories Vicki!
