This is how summers should be, but all good things must come to an end.

Went for a sunrise walk down to St Martins Point, as you do, only to be attacked by a mob of seagulls. Once they’d chilled out, I soon found out why they were being so aggressive.

Making use of all the wildflowers before they all get burnt and scorched to a crisp in the summer heat.

SUMMER GOALS

22.06.20
Pushing the limits of lunch hour travel destinations. Vazon to Jerbourg and down to Petit Port in under 20 minutes, enjoy the views for a short while then power through those killer steps and back to work in exactly 1 hour!

THE OLIVE TREE

Two meals out and a takeaway with the wonderful families, now chilled on the sofa watching Classic Louis Theroux. You’ll notice Finley had to be paid £1 to sit with nanny for a photo.

It wasn’t the magical beginning or end to the solstice but wen the sun broke through it felt pretty good.

DAMSELFLY

19.06.20
Far too many times I’ve been to the same spot to get a shot of a damselfly, every time with too many distractions in the background. Sometimes one just falls nicely into place for a clean smooth background.

Many times I’ve stumbled up this street. Those days are almost a distant memory but for the younger generation, it seems Thursday is the new Friday.

Spotted these three on the side of the road near L’Eree. It’s a bit like a drive through wildlife park down there at the moment. On the left you have an army of pigs, on the right you have donkeys, sheep, chickens and turkeys. Head up L’Eree hill and you've got geese, more sheep and horses!

Summer’s back up and running for the time being, no wind and you could hear the laughter of kids jumping off the pier at Rousse in the distance.

I love reptiles and amphibians. I even see them in the clouds! I did get a second opinion from Danni to make sure I wasn’t loosing my mind. It’s even got accurate eye details!

COLOURS OF DAY

Had a proper risk analysis moment with this one. Even at low tide the strong winds were bringing the sea over the pier and a massive rain cloud was edging closer. I had about 10 minutes to pull something off and for 2-3 of those minutes the sky pumped out some dreamy colours.

RAINBOW BIT

Bordeaux Harbour with an incoming shower slowly creeping in. That rainbow got pretty big and stuck around for nearly half an hour.

LE PREVOTE

11.06.20
After the last four weeks of stunning weather, today felt a little bit empty and uninspiring. Still, plenty of the island to see and explore and the summer will return. Need my Herm fix!

FLUFF

Loads of ducklings in the pond at Saumarez Manor. The little fluff balls came within touching distance, obviously well cared for by us fellow humans.

SUMMER FIELDS
09.06.20
I had a shot planned which I scouted out yesterday. The problem was, the hay bales that made the shot work had been removed overnight! A few f bombs later, these two cows were in the field opposite and you can’t turn down a cow that runs over to you for a stroke.

Left it a bit late this morning but the best of the colour didn’t happen till just after the sun came up so I was happy.

The morning after the epic garden/greenhouse party, these two spent over an hour enjoying life in the hot tub. The rest of us just quietly suffered with the taste of alcohol lingering around.
