Island

Shell Beach, by far one of favourite places close to home. A little piece of paradise that I will always treasure.
Late afternoon at the end of the long weekend, it was almost deserted.

The entire north coast and beaches of Herm all to myself to watch the sunrise. What an amazing piece of paradise we have.

07:45 boat back to Herm for the final push to set up. Greeted by the lady at the top of the hill. We were told all the cows escaped down to the harbour on Friday night!

The Le Tissier’s in Herm. Amazing lunch in the White House and a nice stroll around the island to burn it off. I think we passed about 10 people on the way around the island!

Amazing day with friends and the kids in our little slice of tropical paradise. I never get bored of this island and I’d happily walk it every day.

Another stunning weekend on the rock soaking up the sun. Started nice and early on Havelet, trying to frame this yacht before the sun got too intense.

First day of my two weeks off work and celebrating our 11th wedding anniversary in the place it all happened. I think I speak for all the people who’ve ever visited Herm that it holds a special place in your heart that will always draw you back for more, year after year. I want our kids to remember these days and one day look back and appreciate how lucky they actually are.

Spent the afternoon in Herm with my favourite humans. It really is such a lovely little island. Alana even said it felt like a little holiday on the way home.

Quick scout around the Lihou headland at lunch. Waiting patiently for the wildflowers to appear for some optimistic coastal shots.

Herm Island, the best place in the British Isles. FACT! Full on mood swing with the weather but handed itself to a dreamlike scene.

Over the years I’ve learnt to really appreciate our coastline. From the wildlife and and flowers in the spring to the spectacular and violent seas in the winter, nothing clears your head more than getting out and experiencing what’s on our doorstep. That said, my toes and fingers had lost all feeling by the time I took this. Must get thicker gloves and socks!

Road trip Guernsey style! Travel 7 miles along the length of the west coast, walk 15 minutes across the Lihou causeway, quick lap of the island and back home again.

Herm, it’s where the heart lies with anyone raised in Guernsey. Summers in Herm are a dream and watching the storms roll past today made me miss it even more.

One of my favourite spots in Herm, above Mouisonniere Beach, looking towards Alderney Point. There just something about the vast open common and stunning views out to sea that takes you away from everything.

Holidays are probably out the question for the foreseeable future so I’ll embrace what I’ve been doing for the last 6 years and be a tourist in my own home. This iconic landmark is a brand in itself and there’s nothing else quite like it anywhere else.

Violent 10-12 ft swell coming on off the west coast this morning. Got as close as I could with a wide lens without putting myself at risk. Even with a tripod and fairly high iso the camera shake was unavoidable.

For me, it’s all about Shell Beach but anywhere on Herm feels like paradise. The summer season sees thousands of visitors to this small island but come back in the winter for a more secluded and personal experience.
