Built in the late 1800’s, this used to house th families and keepers of Les Hanois Lighthouse. Now it’s three separate cottages. Every time I see this house I can’t help imagine what pain in the arse it must be to mow the front lawn!

Seeing as the chickens physically blocked the road, I though I should probably take the opportunity to grab a rural country shot.

Our beautiful little girl turned 11 today. I never though time would actually fly as quickly as I was always told it when you have children but it really does. I have thousands of photographs to look back on but physically, time just turned into a blur over the last 11 years.

Another stunning, fiery sunrise which left me speechless. My eyes have seen pretty much every possible weather combo Guernsey has to offer but these scenes just blow your mind.

Always expect the unexpected! I always feel like I’m letting myself down a bit by visiting the same location time and time again but every now and then, something really magical happens. The sun position was perfectly positioned behind the church roof, cloud cover was spot on and the colours were just phenomenal.
For me, it’s all about the journey. Without being here, I would have missed this and the experience and feeling you get can’t be explained in words.

Town Church from Market Square on a chilly autumn night. For those that didn’t know, the church hold the record for the closest pub to a church in the British Isles!

Almost a whole year I’ve waited to get down here for some stunning autumn light and this afternoon didn’t disappoint. A beautiful beach, and fascinating to observe the coastal erosion at the base of the cliffs.

Flat out day for the girls with an early birthday party for Alana who turns 11 on Wednesday. She’s got a great little group of friends and they all get on so well together. Watching her have fun is all I need in life.

A juvenile Cormorant sat, seemingly unfazed, on the edge of the pond in Saumarez Park. I was able to get extremely close to this one for some reason, even the screaming kids on bikes didn’t bother it. Great for me as it meant I could creep up and get as close as I could. I love the blue eyes in these birds.

Nestled deep in the valley, there’s one tree which stands out from the rest every year. Although the light wasn’t great, the tree’s showing a full spectrum of autumnal colours. The brown dead leaves at the top, yellows in the midde and lower leaves still holding onto their summer greens.

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!

I almost pulled the covers over my head this morning but me being me, got up anyway to check the sky and I could see it starting to pick up some colour 45 minutes earlier. A 5 mile drive later and a mad run down to Marble Bay I was greeted with this stunning sky. Sometimes a little extra effort goes a long way.
This is a good example of how the higher level clouds pick up the colour in the atmosphere.

If it’s too large for a plane, this is how it gets to you. There’s no denying it, the harbour is a mess but it serves it’s purpose and it’s our lifeline to the supply chain.

Les Niaux mill, half way up Talbot Valley with a recently renovated hardwood wheel which is fully operational and provide power to a heat pump in the house. Apparently there’s been a mill on this site since the mid 1300’s. Originally used to grind corn, it was later converted to shred rags for the padding in uniforms.

A common theme you’ll no doubt see regular driving around Guernsey. The once thriving export industry is just left in ruins now. The good news is, some are being reused to grow medicinal cannabis!

The stunning Gingko tree in Candie Gardens. I wanted to catch it before all the leaves fall off with some strong morning sun to accentuate the colours.
