This week I took a walk through downtown Reykjavik. After several weeks of rain, it was a joy to be out in the sunshine. The leaves have started to turn golden and autumn has begun. As I walked along, there was very excited and joyful birdsong coming from the trees in someone's garden. I could have sat there listening all afternoon, except that it was rather cold despite the sun. The streets here don't always sound this beautifully instrumental so it was a really lucky moment to stumble upon. It was like listening to diamonds glistening in the sunlight.
