I would love to knit the 'Christmassy' Lopapeysa cardigan that you're wearing in the video to wear this coming winter. Can you please tell me where I can get the written pattern?
I’m interested in care instructions.
I would only say that I'm sorry because of the hope etc you began withis gone, You have the chance of a fresh, new life, you can do all the things you want to do wherever you want to do them! Divorce can be seen as sad but I strongly beleive it's a hundred times better than stewing in an unhappy relationshi. I wish you all the best for a ight future! Yes, I've divorced twice from marriages I thought would be 'forever' 🥰🥰🥰
Definitely buy either a sweater or wool from this store. I am knitting for my daughter. I can confirm that their sweaters are very well priced. And wool is ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY! Thank you for an informative video.
My favorite is chocolate Poptarts. Excited to visit this store when we come in June!
You are our 'dóttir' now, good addition to our little republic. Very welcome my dear. <3 . Just discovered this channel. Saw the video where you were trying to pronounce Polish words. The guy who invented that language was probably on LSD. Beleive me, I had a Polish GF for six years and tried to speak this and learn after six years in Warsaw, I manage up to a point. :) I am surprised she didn't throw this at you. A known tongue twister from a polish comedy from back in the days. I still couldn't master this after few years. The poor Nazis simply packed down their typewriters and went back home, where they should have stayed in the first place. czcams.com/video/AfKZclMWS1U/video.html
You Go girl 🩸🇲🇦💎
Can i rent and drive by myself five days and just see main area in july and regular car sleep in car?
This is a cheap ass clickbait title. DOGS ARE NOT BANNED IN REYKJAVÍK TODAY!
Kellogg's Raisin Bran was probably my favorite cereal growing up, but I'm not much of a cereal eater now. I did notice they have Combos crackers, one of my guily pleasures! I couldn't tell if they had the cheddar cheese variety, my favorite. Is it mostly Americans who seem to shop there, or are there Icelanders in there as well?
We visited this spot back in 2022. It felt sad to know that even happened there.
Wow such a beautiful place you would never know the dark side of history, very interesting; anything you bring us is never sad tho. always great to see your smile
He seems like a great guy now I am wondering what happened to the relationship.
Jewels. This is Nita from 4 SW Ski club Stacia and I brought 38 ski club members in 2022 to Iceland. We met you and you spoke to our group. We collectively have fondly spoken of you often. We do hope that you will. Continue to heal. It does take time. 😢please feel free to reach out to us from time to time. I’m divorced and a widow as well. I have done therapy and it did help in both instances. You have my email. Would love to hear from you. Take care
so cool! thank you for sharing!
Hi Jules, thank you for sharing this bit of History. I love History and been enjoying your videos for a long time. They're the best! Have a wonderful day ❤.
Great interview. Thank you.
The story of how Iceland became Christian is fascinating. In the Saga of Burnt Njal, it tells that during the Althing, here at Thingvellir, it looked as if there would possibly be violence over the issue. The question was put to a non Christian man, who declared that henceforth Iceland would be Christian, but that the pagans would not be forced to give up their ways or beliefs. In this episode on this channel, you are hearing what happened to religious tolerance when Christianity became strongly entrenched in Iceland. It did not follow the tolerance taught by Jesus, and essentially decreed, “THOU SHALT KILL”!. This is a lesson for us all, often those who claim to be strongly religious are really pseudo christian, self righteous hypocrites with a dual vision of what is right behavior. To whit: if someone else does it wnd shakes your faith, it must be horribly wrong. However, if you are disturbed by what they are doing, it os ok to commit violence against them, the complete betrayal of Jesus and his teachings!
Yes, yes, yes... PHONETICS! For those of us whose ears are not so sharp.
Thank you for this insightful video. Crazy how much the prices have gone up in two years!!
I find myself in Laura's story, especially in the layer of emotions and feelings. I have the same observations about seasons, language and life in the countryside. I visited Iceland in 2019 and cried the last night before I left. Last year I came for 3 months for seasonal work and... I'm still here. My sons are now adults, and I am starting life anew in the Icelandic countryside :) I recently bought a car so I will finally be able to visit the Westfjords, which I have not seen before. Thank you for the wonderful interview and best regards from wild Snæfellsnes!
on my first stay in Reykjavik I was stunned how many cats there are and how friendly and cool they are.. 90% came to get petted..
Glad you had a positive experience with the cats here. Yes, they are super chill. 😊
Love the video. Knowing a little of the dark side is important. So as to not let history repeat (via awareness). Religion oft clouds our sense of reason.
Agreed
The Icelandic witch trials were interesting in that the majority of those accused were men. I wonder if this is the area in Iceland where those trials took place?
Indeed. I believe there were here and different places, like the West fjords. I need to read up on it more because I want to do a video about it. 😊
It's truly a beautiful and magnificent park. The rich history and landscape are amazing. We went thinking we'd be there 20 - 30 minutes and ended up spending a couple of hours.
It really is! Glad you enjoyed it.
Interesting dark history. All countries have a bit. I enjoy your videos. Thanks
Glad you like them! Thank you.
Yikes! 😮
Agreed 😳
Drowning pool? Me learning to swim aged 4.
They were tied up and attached to stones. No amount of swimming would help with that.
@@AllThingsIceland Oh that's horrible. I shouldn't have been making silly jokes. 😞
Thx for subtitle
My pleasure
Thank you for sharing this part of Iceland’s history.
My pleasure
WoW, who knew Iceland had a judgemental phase!?? And furthermore , I wonder what gave them a change of heart/outlook #LearnSomethingNewEveryDay
Hello, How are you? It's great to see a post from you.
Hey, thanks
Much love To You Sweetie ❤
Thank you and much love to you too. ❤️
Thank you. It's good to learn history -- good, bad, and ugly. Being ignorant of history never turns out well in the long run.
Agreed. 😊
Christianity turned the vikings violent and intolerant. Irony... extremely fascinating. The history of Iceland never disappoints.
Thank you for another great video.
My pleasure and thanks for watching
May the spirits of those women be more at peace with you telling their story….❤️
Agreed ❤️
Thanks for this great video and the fact of you living your best life. Please live long stay strong and prosper, Dear!
Thank you! You too!
😊😊

You came to another country. Be icelandic. Assimilate. You keep doing this racist gesture - throwing a black fist into the air, keep calling yourself a minority, and then you ask if people there are racists? Well, they will be racists, you'll make them.
A very good and useful insight if it's corporate/clerical is your employment field,useless if looking for blue collar work and life information🤷
Please tell me they make those in October?
I wish but unfortunately not 😭
Great interview, Jewells!
Thanks, Jewells and Laura for a really interesting interview!
Spectacular views Jewell it was amazing. Thanks for sharing. Cheers
Glad you enjoyed it and my pleasure!

Wow exciting

There are Leadersheep, which is a subtype of Icelandic sheep, that is breed for intelligence and herding. The leadersheep would lead the group from pasture to pasture. They are not used as much these days, but an effort is being made to breed the Leader type sheep both in Iceland and the US and Canada.
Why is it there get that thing back to the Arctic where it came from?
