The official shortest day of the year which only means one thing…Summer is coming!!!
I like to mark the day with a landscape image but the weather had other ideas. I saw this tree reflecting in a rusty garden dish in a garden centre which reminded me of a giant setting sun.

As the skies greyed over, my mind was shouting black and white. Sketchy waves nearly had me a few times and the sea spray wrote off 8most of the images!

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.

After months of ongoing restoration , the water wheel is finally back up and running. Up until about 6 years ago, I only had vague memories of this place from my childhood, but now I visit a few times a year for a few snaps.

Alana and Grace absolutely loving life in the paddling pool. If Alana had her own way we would have adopted Grace by now.

Cooking oil mixed with water in a pyrex dish, coloured plastic plates and iPhone light underneath. First attempt at this, mixed results ;o)

I gave up on my cliff adventure because I genuinely felt like I was putting myself in danger, mainly due to the 50mph+ winds and driving rain. Stopped off at the Bathing Pools on the way home to see this hero going for a casual snorkel round Havelet.

Another frog re-homed from ‘death by cat claws’. Went outside last night to see the cat batting something against the wall in the dark which turned out to be this frog. Found it a suitable home and we went our separate ways.

140 abreuvoirs are dotted around the island, built in the 1800’s they were designed as places for cattle to drink. The streams feeding them flow through the parishes eventually making their way out to sea.
