The volcanic eruption from beneath the Eyjafjallajokull Glacier in Iceland is an amazing thing, something which seems to belong to the age of the dinosaurs! It’s astonishing that something so relatively small can affect such a high area, and it just goes to remind us all of the power of mother nature.
Apparently it started to erupt on 25th March but only began to spew its ash many miles into the air a couple of days ago. This caused havoc with European airspace, with the UK experiencing a grounding of airplanes which is unprecedented. Almost all flights in and out of the UK will not take place until at least 1am Saturday (17th April). I have friends who are due to fly back from holiday today so they will be in for a frustrating time. It got me thinking how nice it would be for airports to have bean bag zones for people to relax when there’s a delay! Our Everlast Faux Leather Bean Bags would be perfect!
After hearing that a light dusting of volcanic ash may fall over the UK overnight, I eagerly (ok, geekily) woke up this morning and rushed outside in the hope I’d find a layer of warm ash, fresh from the earth’s mantle…not quite, I did see a bit of dust but then I haven’t cleaned my car for a year so it was really quite difficult to tell if there was any difference. It’s not stopped me from going to work so no need for our customers to worry as they’ll be receiving their bean bag orders as promptly as always!
It may look demonic and it may cause a great deal of disruption for millions of people, but it is a beautiful sight to behold.
