Lilly by me.

Lilly and her first tooth

The moon - it is not always that yellow.

My house from the front...

My house from the back

View from the bunker - the Westside.

and some more...

Part of the German Bunker in the forest above my house

Battered sausage and chips.

The local chippie - 'Cobo Fish Bar'

My local 'Ralphs' - 'Checkers'

The 'Crossroads' of Guernsey and where I spent 5 years of my life - Les Beaucamps High (formerly Secondary) School

104.7 IslandFM - possibly the worst radio station ever.

some more narrow streets

yawn.....

The Town Church....

Guernseys equivalent to Union Station - the bus station.

St Peters Port - Town
moored boats infront of the town centre

Condor - 1 of the ways off this Island - A ferry that will take you to France and England

The model Yacht Pond at the Guernsey Yacht Club - where I learnt to sail...

Castle Cornet -
The biggest Fort on the island - they still fire a cannon everyday at noon.....

Guernsey phone box


Sark - about 40 minutes from Guernsey. They DO have bicycles!!!!!

Herm -
An island about 20 minutes ferry trip from Guernsey. You can walk around it in less than an hour. It has no cars or bicycles but people still live there and it has it's own school and church etc. crazy.

the bathing pools again - where I learnt to swim with crabs and fish

The Bathing Pools - yes you can see right - it is just part of the ocean that has been 'fenced' off.

... but not quite as glamourous as Bel Air. Although F1 racing driver Jenson Button has a pad here...

Fort George - the Bel Air of Guernsey.
Lot's of rich people with offshore banking.

FILTER IN TURN - this is a Guernsey variation of the STOP. It's kinda a 3 way stop, and if there are 3 cars, then they filter in turn, but if there are no cars there then you can just carry on driving. GENIUS - none of that 3 second rubbish!

same with the gas - you use the pump first and THEN go inside and pay for what you have used.

People often put tings - flowers, potatoes, tomatoes, fruit... on the side of their houses to sell and trust honest Guernsey folk to leave the right amount of money!

Guernsey bus.

Vale church - middle of the island.

Bus stop - you don't even get a pavement(sidewalk) to stand on.

another shitty excuse for a road.

nothing....

This is not a footpath - this is a real road. FOR CARS. yep...

ANOTHER fort known as the 'cup and saucer'. great.

another German lookout. this island is basically German lookout towers, beaches, fields, cows, tiny roads and annoying people

these pictures are so boring

a Guernsey flag.
Notice how one is driving on the left side of the road. I still can't get the hang of it and have had many narrow escapes

sign

a close up of 'Malibu'

the fort again
