Autumn at Gullkistan
Guest number 98, 99, 100 and 101
August has passed with lots of work, travel and joy. There are some photos with this post, seems like the camera mostly blinks during mealtime but it is then that we all gather and many thoughts are shared. Click on READ MORE to see the photos.

Guests have been very busy at work and there are some photos of work in progress.
The Laugarvatn community celebrated Independence day on the 17th and we took part in that.
The farm owners started painting the houses.
On june 23rd the guests discussed their works with each other.
Then they all buried rye bread dough into the crater in Laugarvatn for 24 hours. Dug it out and had a wonderful fiest with bread and smoked trout and salmon. What a party! Photos of this event are on our facebook page.
Some have travelled and all have enjoyed the incredibly wonderful weather and each other’s company.
Gullkistan thanks all of them for being!
