Rocquaine

WEST COAST

13.05.22

I’ve always liked the look of these cosy little cottages along the west coast. The thought of a roaring fire watching the waves crasher in the winter seems more appealing as I get older.

WAY OUT WEST

13.01.22

I found this view point last year by accident on one of my many tours of the parishes. There’s a bench to the side of the road where you can sit and take in the views.

CRABBIN'

10.10.21

While the kids were entertained I wandered the vast rocky shores of Roquaine for a spot of crabbin. Found a few different species and some weird looking eels but this one was the biggest one I found.

FOR PAPPY

14.09.21

Sadly, today we said our goodbyes to my grandad ‘pappy’. I have many fond memories that have been circling around in my head but one we shared is the exploration of Guernsey coastline. He often spoke of diving the shipwrecks off the coast around here, even bringing us plates and cutlery from the wrecks to use at home!

Everyone deals with deaths in different ways and I wanted to express it in a way I think he’d appreciate.

We’ll all miss you and until we meet again, rest in peace x

ROCQUAINE REGATTA

31.07.21

Unfortunately, we were unable to retain our sand sculpture title (we arrived as it finished) but it’s still a great family day out and you’re almost guaranteed to see old friends along the way.

This was the crab pot pulling, with a little assistance from the bigger kids.

PORTELET

08.01.21

Taking myself out of my comfort zone for this. One of my biggest setbacks in photography is approaching strangers and asking them to take their photograph. Maybe it’s the fear of rejection or even the pressure to get it right in a few click. That said, put a pint between us and I could happily chat for hours! Either way, from what I’ve read, the more you ask the easier it gets.

ROCQUAINE REGATTA

06.09.20

Made a fantastic camping weekend out of the regatta this year, thanks to Mike + Mel, amazing weather and even better friends. These two though, literally can’t separate them. If they’re not together in person, they’ll be zooming and playing online together at any given opportunity!. It’s sweet though, and they had a great time together. Champion sand sculptors too!
