In diplomatic lives we have to get used to saying goodbye to colleagues but it never gets easier. Now it’s time for the fabulous Lisa waugh to leave #Iceland after 5 years. A huge thank you from me & the whole of the UK in Iceland 🇬🇧🇮🇸 team, you have been an incredible Deputy Ambassador!
After watching so many episodes of Krakkafréttir (children’s news) when I was trying to learn #Icelandic it was pretty special to be on Friday’s episode with Mayor Einar Þorsteinsson to launch the Embassy’s board game about careers of the future UK in Iceland 🇬🇧🇮🇸

Thank you to the Mayor of Reykjavík, Einar Þorsteinsson for taking the time to play the game with Ambassador Dr Bryony Mathew and the children of Háteigsskóli 👏 (the children won by the way!)
On #InternationalWomensDay we pay tribute to Vigdís Finnbogadóttir, the former president of Iceland and the first woman to be democratically elected as Head of State in the world.
