Things tourists do: Typical Irish Family

As you can imagine I come into contact with a lot of tourists, and as a talkative person I quite enjoy chatting to tourists! You get all kinds of colourful people on holiday and I could recount many many tales of amusing events that I have been witness to, but right now I shall begin what I hope will be a regular segment of this blog.

Things tourists do: I was chatting to an Irish mother and daughter, they were asking the standard questions about what we saw then the daughter: "You don't sound Icelandic"
Me: "That's because I'm not Icelandic"
Daughter: "That makes sense, I'm as sharp as a crayon I am"
Mum: "Crayons aren't sharp"
Me: "A sharp crayon?"
Daughter: "Yeah a sharp crayon! So where are you from?"
Me: "England"
Daughter: "An Englishman eh? Mum I've found you an Englishman!"
Me: "Were you looking for an Englishman?"
Mum: "No"

They were mightily entertaining.

It's also been snowing here! Over night we got a nice blanket of it over the city and it made for a very picturesque scene.
Ain't that so pretty!

I'm trying out a focusing effect here, make the picture better?

Thanks for reading!
