Snapshot in time. Faroe Islands, in the extreme North, Viðoy, close to Viðareiði, before you enter the village. A car that held the road well that day, purring engine, humming from the driver’s seat probably, with the radio on, some afternoon program, a cutting out, radio news, and, simultaneously, a different countdown that was just about to start …
