My favourite photographs from Guernsey and relevant notes are now on flickr:

I have sooo much information and I’ve not yet read about my shipwrecks nor the book I picked up at the occupation museum. And that’s just one little island! I still have 37 to go…

The weather was really quite good, the only real rain we had was on Sunday as we traipsed from pub to pub. As a result, we only tried five different versions of Milk Punch but that was probably plenty. :)

I found not one but two wonderful lighthouses which I adore and I could happily go back to any of the islands for a longer stay. Alderney was my favourite, I wish I could have had more time walking around the coast there. Anne liked Jersey best, I think because she got to browse through lots of jewelry shops.

I have a ton of books to read through and a fair amount of scribbled notes that I should transcribe before I forget what it was I meant to say. It’s going to be a busy week.

Slight reorganisation of plans, flying to Elstree (London) on Thursday, picking up Cliff’s mum who thought it would be fun to go with us (pretty daring for a woman of 81!) and flying to Guernsey first thing in the morning on Friday, arriving in time for a lunch date with a local who has offered to tell us all about the island.

Unfortunately, I’m not overly impressed with the weather report, which seems to imply I could fly into Guernsey any day except Friday, which is forecast for rain.

I always knew the British weather would cause problems and was the reason why it seemed sensible to not even consider starting until Spring was firmly established. But I really didn’t think that the very first flight for the very first trip could end up getting blown out!
If I chain-refresh the page, do you think the forecast will change?
