Bordeaux

CASTLE ROAD

11.05.22

Took the long way home to find a ‘classic Guernsey’ image. Bordeaux always has some interesting fishing boats and these beauties have had a fresh lick of paint and the flag was still flying proud from Liberation Day.

DARK SKY

31.03.22

From glorious sunshine for a whole week to a complete u-turn of icy cold arctic winds and wintry showers. This was a few minutes before the hail hit and it was painful. I’d forgotten how much it hurts being shot in the face with thousands of hail stones!

I also found loads of newborn lambs today so I’ll head back and grab some shots tomorrow.

SHEPHERDS WARNING

06.12.21

Believe it or not, there is some scientific understanding to the rhyme, “Red sky in the morning, shepherds warning”!

A quote from he Met Office - "Red sky in the morning, shepherds warning" means a red sky appears due to the high-pressure weather system having already moved east meaning the good weather has passed, most likely making way for a wet and windy low-pressure system.”

HINTS OF SUMMER

18.08.21

I always remember mid August school summer holidays being non stop blue skies, down the beach with mates and cycling around without a care in the world. Summer seems to have faded away in the blink of an eye this year and there’s no signs of an imminent heatwave returning this year. Other than this bust of sun, it’s been another grey and slightly moist one.

DAY ONE

25.03.21

Along with about 8 other lambs, the little one was only born yesterday. I got talking to the owner who said more were on the way. You can see them from the road driving inland from Bordeaux.
