I had heard about this programme and how everyone was getting very excited about the new series. I wasn't sure I wanted to watch another reality TV show - they all just start blending into one another, and it's not entertaining anymore. But I had a look at this show last night. They are at the quarter-finals stage, so all 5 contestants are good at baking. I really like baking, so thought it might actually be good to pick up a few hints.
I really enjoyed the whole thing - the format, the baking, the interaction with the presenters. But most of all the show made me want to do two things: 1. eat cake while watching the show, preferable a slice of victoria sponge, and 2. start baking. Luckily it was 10pm, and I couldn't do either. I don't think this programme would be very good for my waistline :) Wonder if it's only on once a week....oh, the wait!

Asdis and Berglind get married
So our trip to Iceland finally came around - and it was time for Asdis and Berglind's wedding! That was the main reason we were going to Iceland this summer, and of course, we have been talking about going back since our last trip in 2009, so it was the perfect excuse! We arrived in Reykjavik on the Wednesday before the wedding on the Saturday, so had two and a bit days to drive up to Akureyri. This trip was very different to the last one, where we camped and drove around Iceland with action-packed days. This time we were taking it nice and easy with Asger, but that means still being able to enjoy the amazing scenery and great food!
We stayed in a lovely bed and breakfast located very near to the church, so it was easy to get there on the Saturday. The church was lovely, really unusual design with large windows along the sides. It was such a beautiful ceremony - I didn't know the opening song would be so moving, so usually I get a little teary-eyed as the ceremony progresses, but this time it happened straight away! And neither of us could find the tissues. Asger was there to keep everyone entertained, and just waited until the girls got married before taking his afternoon nap :) We had a lovely time at the reception at a restaurant in the city - Asger slept through the speeches and music! Food, company and celebrations were great.
While in Iceland we were able to visit some places we had been before (geysirs) and some new places we hadn't seen before (penninsula near to Reykjavik). The scenery is truly amazing and breathtaking. Most days we had blue skies and sunshine, but around 10 degrees, so it felt like really nice autumn/winter weather (even though it was August!). This was Asger's first trip abroad, so first time on a plane, which went really well. I owe Esben big time - he got the nappy change on the plane - and we know how pokey those toilets are :) Of course, we just keep talking about our next trip back to Iceland, but in the winter this time with snow all around :)

Asger's arrival
9 days overdue and getting a little anxious - but at 11.30pm on Tuesday 20 May it all kicked off. Fast forward to 4.11am Wednesday 21 May when Asger entered the world! I thought that I would be way more emotional but to be honest, I was so happy to see him and for him to be lying on me, I didn't have time to get emotional! It was great having Esben with me the whole time - he was a great support, especially during those 'I can't push any longer' moments.
It's a lovely feeling to finally get to meet the little one who has been on the inside for the past 9 months and say 'so you're the one who has been kicking and punching me for the last month - that was so adorable!'. Happy times :)
