Annamaria on Monday
|
They made me a Brit! |
I had the delight of traveling with Barbara Zilly to and from Iceland for the fabulous Iceland Noir conference and of spending time with her while there. Jeff was there too, which was perfectly lovely most of the time.
Zoe said it in words so beautifully yesterday. I offer you a pictorial report.

The end. I am happy but in need of a contemplative lie-down.
As you can tell from a careful perusal of the photographs, I was never there. Next thing you know she'll be claiming there really was a moon landing...as opposed to it being filmed in Iceland.
ReplyDeleteBro, look again. That's you between me an John Lawton on the "Taking Liberties with History" panel.
DeleteWhat would I possibly be doing in a panel stocked with historical novelists? As opposed to in a red frock...
DeleteLooking as gorgeous as I remember, Annamaria -- and Iceland doesn't look too shabby either!
ReplyDeleteAnd then there was you resplendent in your red velvet frock at the dinner!
DeletePretty stark. And the outdoors ain't much better. (Sorry, Jeff and Zoë made me do it.)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the pics, AmA, looks like everyone had great fun!
EvKa, the events were positively jolly. I love that conference.
DeleteLovely photos. Thanks for posting them.
ReplyDeleteWhat stunning sunsets.
And it appears a good time was had by all.
