"University of Iceland geophysicist Magnus Tumi Gudmundsson said this was Grimsvotn's largest eruption for 100 years, "much bigger and more intensive than Eyjafjallajokul.""

Re: Another Icelandic Volcano Eruption !!!
LONDON - Britain’s Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) said it was likely that
flights from parts of the country would be disrupted on Tuesday by an ash cloud
billowing from a volcano in Iceland.
Britain’s Met Office is predicting a plume of ash from the Grimsvotn volcano
would cover the Irish Republic, Northern Ireland, Scotland and parts of northern
Britain by 0600 GMT on Tuesday.
Asked whether this would cause some disruption to flights, a CAA spokesman
said: “That’s the way it’s looking certainly at the moment.”

It's got less than 11 days to sort itself out, Son is flying in with his girlfriend in 12 days, my Mum and everybody else follows three weeks after, I don't need the worry of ash clouds messing things up.

Just watching the BBC news and 100's of flights have been cancelled in Scotland and NI already.
Pray for a change in the wind direction.
