Those poor people in Iceland!
While people here are bemoaning the possible loss of a holiday, the Icelanders are really struggling with the direct effects of the erupting volcano.
With my previous job I travelled abroad (to US, or Europe, sometimes further afield) every week. I know how horrible it is to have a flight home cancelled and the stress of trying to rebook/ find an alternative way home.
We've also had our once-in-a-lifetime holiday threatened by strike action, anhd that wasn't much fun.
But - on a selfishly personal note -it's been so lovely and quiet with no aeroplanes overhead.
I wonder how long it'll go on for?
