Before the luscious green comes the miles and miles of stunning Blackthorn flowers. If you haven’t been for a wonder around the cliffs recently, now really is the time to do it. It’s amazing to see so much white blossom.

If I had to name one beach out of the 30 which holds the most memories, L’Ancresse would probably be it. A more abstract view from he carpark but it feels like somewhere thousands of miles away.

After watching the rain roll in over Hanois, the sun started to break through and I knew I had to move. Just around the corner the sheep presented themselves perfectly with Fort Grey and the rainbow taking centre stage in an amazing burst of colour.

An unlucky 13th day in more ways than I want to remember but I did get some gorgeous light first thing. Couldn’t be bothered to battle the wind and this is a great place to fall back on time and time again.

Rocquaine under a heavy and angry sky. Pretty much non stop like this for the last few day but this just adds to the excitement of being out hunting down an image.

I had no intention of finding ormers, it was just such a nice day with a 0.6m low tide to explore. I did want to find some starfish but only found a few small live crabs. I did find a huge chancre crab but it had passed on into crab heaven.

Some days it all comes down to being in the right place at the right time, or, knowing what you want! The clouds looked like they were picking up some colour about an hour before sunset and the wind was blowing an opening in the clouds in the right direction. All I had to do was get into position and wait for some sun to pop through.

Braving the elements, umbrella in hand, the opportunity was there. Amazing weather to be out in though! Hail, rain, thunder, sunshine and wind. It’s a constant battle to keep dry and protect your gear but I love to challenge myself each day (some more than others).

Myself, along with the 20 other swimmers, can safely say that it was a stunner! Once the sun broke through the clouds the glow behind me was gorgeous. The bare tree trunks were really accentuating the colours. The walk back up with all my gear was the only down side.

Le Jaonnet Bay is no secret but it does require a little extra effort to get to, especially after three days eating your own body weight in food. The waves were fierce and the sound was like thunder as it hit the rocks. Just managed to dodge the showers too!

Surreal light as the hail shower passed over me this morning. I was prepared with waterproofs and an umbrella but being in the middle of it and being in the moment makes it all worth while.

Part of me wishes I’d traveled the extra mile to be on the other side of this rain cloud but it was still a fascinating sight to watch the curtain of rain pass across Rocquaine.

The first day of the meteorological winter, observed from Saints Bay. The tides were perfect and just enough hazy cloud on the horizon to keep the highlights balanced. 30 days left and that would be six years non stop daily photography (2162 days to date). I’ve filled nearly 8TB of storage and many more GB’s thrown away to make space. In my mind, I’m still only getting started!

I’d set up on the pier before the hail started hammering down. Luckily the store has a great sheltered vantage point to watch the weather do it’s thing.

Herm, it’s where the heart lies with anyone raised in Guernsey. Summers in Herm are a dream and watching the storms roll past today made me miss it even more.

Stuck for ideas this morning so it seemed like a good time to revisit the fishing store at Saints Harbour. The red bricks compliment the morning sun perfectly, giving a warm orange glow inside.

A little corner of Saints Bay, partially hidden being a wall of rocks. It’s no secret but on a warm day with a high tide it feels like a little piece of the Med.

Late morning adventures, between the fog, Saints Bay was like a dream. The water was so clear and not a single wave breaking, the sun was pumping out some warm rays and the sound of the birds topped it off. One of those special Guernsey moments that stick with you.

Another scorcher on the rock. Continuing my holidays as I mean to go on, near a beach.

Forget all the shit going on at the moment, this is the way I will remember Easter 2020! Full on sunshine for days.
