Has anyone ever visited &/or seen Skalholt? I'm enjoying this video after some wine (was it 3? its Friday night & I've been called back to work for a month or so, so losing count on this Friday evening). Love watching the expressions on the artists playing strings in this video filmed in Skalholt. Maybe a 3rd visit to this Scandinavian isle is in order... Backroads brought a young Icelandic singer, Hanna Mia, onboard our Ponant circumnavigation cruise who spoke to us about Iceland, answered our questions and sang three songs. Two were folk songs in Icelandic and the third was in English and was made popular by a group called Of Monsters and Men who are known in the US. She told us she had tried to find the happiest Icelandic folk songs she could, but all of them are sad! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Lois R Posted May 16, 2022 #13456 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Hi, not sure if any of you are interested but Stanley Tucci is "Searching For Italy" again this season. Last night they were in Umbria...........it was quite interesting and if you like pork? This would be the episode to watch!😃 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lincslady Posted May 16, 2022 #13457 Share Posted May 16, 2022 I'd love to, Lois - but a bit too far away from your TV stations! I wonder if in the States you get programmes featuring Rick Stein, a British chef, who does similar programmes travelling through France and visiting out of the way and often inexpensive restaurants. Having holidayed a lot in all parts of France over the years, I am finding them especially nostalgic. It sounds as if mysty is having a busy time on Silver Moon - currently still docked in Rouen, but probably sailing this evening when the tide is right. I really wish I were on board with them all. Are you cruising again soon? Lola 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lois R Posted May 16, 2022 #13458 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Hi Lola, the show is on CNN........I know they are in the UK......maybe look it up and see if you can find it.🙂 I am cruising next month on The Dawn out of Barcelona🙂 I was supposed to sail on her Inaugural but I had surgery and was in the hospital. Thankfully I am all healed and can travel again👍 Yes, Mysty sounds like they are having a very busy but very good time! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jpalbny Posted May 16, 2022 #13459 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Lois, we have watched the first two this season (Veneto and Piedmont) but not the third one yet. We also have to review the Milan one in preparation for our trip there in less than three weeks! Lola, I will try to look up where I can stream that series by Rick Stein. Sounds great!

lincslady Posted May 16, 2022 #13461 Share Posted May 16, 2022 jp - I think you would like it - it is on the BBC, but being completely untechnical I have no idea how you could get the series. I imagine you are able to get BBC programmes? Just watched him in Port Vendres, almost on the Spanish border, and have some lovely memories of being there, actually on a small cruise ship. Some lovely varieties of fish in the market there. Lola Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a 2 day cooking course with him at Bannisters Mollymook. We had a great time. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lincslady Posted May 19, 2022 #13473 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Awake far too early - it might be a good idea (if anyone at all is interested) to follow up the pronunciation difference stuff here rather than sully mysty's great cruise report any more. I now need to know how to pronounce Des Moines, if it is not Day Mwan, for instance. It is the sort of answer that pops up on our TV quizzes. And is it Kwebec or Kubec, chez eux?

Lola We got by with Dez Moynez. English villages seem to specialise in pronunciations that bear little relation to their spelling eg: Cowbit = cubbit Slaithwaite = Slowit (slow as in cow) Staithes = Stee-ahs Not just English, actually.
