This is the #1 song this summer. It’s actually a makeover from this song, from 1966.
The name “Vor í Vaglaskógi” means “Spring in Vaglaskogur forrest”. Vaglaskogur is fairly close to Akureyri on the north side of the country, where we go camping atleast once each summer. The song is a romantic song, saying the dreams of those who stay in Vaglaskógur will come true. Well, mine have atleast.
Here is a live version of the song. Beautiful.
Summer is here and everything changes. The white cover that has been dominating our surroundings gradually diminishes and the spring starts to flourish everywhere. The sounds change aswell, birds chirping, motorbikes and lawnmowers make their mark on the summer sounds as well.
This spring has been exceptionally pleasing, with +15°c almost every day. I even got a sunburn on my shoulders when we were paving around our new little flowerbed last weekend. +15° is brilliant on our scale, when the temp rises above 20°c many companies close early for the day just to let people enjoy the sunshine.
And just to be able to let the kids go outside without putting a coat on is a relief.
This video was published today. It shows an interesting view of the local food that we usually just call home food but is seen from a foreigners perspective. I’m really proud of it, especially my uncle the bacalao expert who makes the best salted fish in the world. (biased but true).

One of the bigger projects that we did in February was the promo for a winter festival here in Akureyri called Eljagangur, or Blizzard festival and involves all kinds of winter sports – snowboarding, snowmobiles and even heli-skiing, which means you can be taken up to the top of the mountain by a helicopter and you can ski or snowboard downhill again.
We did all the graphics, ads, website, social media and some print leaflets. The project was good fun and everybody was pleased with the festival this third year, which only gets bigger with every year. See you in Akureyri in February 2014.
