The weather has started to take an ever so slight turn for the worse - a little less sunshine and a stronger, chillier wind. Still blooming marvellous for the last day of September though!  We headed to the west of the island for another look at Vazon and Cobo Bays, separated by Fort Hommet, which looked very different from earlier this week as the tide was in. We then pointed our noses northward and made for Oatlands Village, a craft retail outlet, but there ...

Another gloriously sunny day, though the wind had picked up to give it a bit more of an autumnal feel, which is fair enough as it's autumn. We began with a trip to the Little Chapel. In 1904, a group of de la Salle brothers arrived in Guernsey from France, acquiring Les Vauxbelets (pretty little valleys).  In 1914, recent arrival Brother Deodat built a tiny chapel, 9ft by 4.5ft, but it was critised so he demolished it overnight. He then constructed a grotto an...

Another sunny day in Glorious Guernsey saw us explore the capital city of St Peter Port. Our first stop was the St John Health Care shop to pick up a wheelchair for Mum. Then we managed to find parking in the harbour....well, not actually in the harbour, after all BB isn't a boat, but around the harbour. We meandered along the quaint shopping area centered along the high street, stocking up on souvenirs and gifts when we found ourselves outside The Guernsey Tap...

The sun accompanied us for the whole of our first full day in Guernsey, so we decided to start indoors!  Hauteville House, in St Peter Port, was the home of French exile Victor Hugo for 15 years, during which time he decorated it in his own unique style. Today was its final day of the season before closing for the winter, so it was now or never. The decor is not to my taste, but stunning none the less. The most stunning aspect, however,  was the view from the ...

Today, Mum and I commenced our week long trip to Guernsey. Although I'd never been before Mum had, back in 1957! The day started well, with a smooth journey to Gatwick. Mum needing assistance, we were whisked through security and were soon waiting airside. Then, we noticed the departure board - our flight was delayed by 1 hour 40 mins! Last time I flew with Mum, returning from Cyprus last year, we were delayed by a couple of hours, so I definitely blame her. T...
