Herm
17.07.21
First day of my two weeks off work and celebrating our 11th wedding anniversary in the place it all happened. I think I speak for all the people who’ve ever visited Herm that it holds a special place in your heart that will always draw you back for more, year after year. I want our kids to remember these days and one day look back and appreciate how lucky they actually are.

After the excitement of this mornings unseasonal gale force winds it was nice to feel a little bit of warmth and ditch the winter gear. I did notice there were three conger eels drying out in the back of the boat. Is this a Guernsey thing i’ve missed?

Spent the afternoon in Herm with my favourite humans. It really is such a lovely little island. Alana even said it felt like a little holiday on the way home.

I had another image I wanted to post but the name ‘Boaty McFishface’ just stuck in my head all day so this made the final cut.

Herm Island, the best place in the British Isles. FACT! Full on mood swing with the weather but handed itself to a dreamlike scene.

After an hour round trip to Pleinmont this morning, the only shot I actually liked was the rain falling behind Herm. Pretty much sums up the weather for the day I think. Stay warm, I’m off to eat steak and drink beer all day.

Dreamy sunrise between Herm and Jethou this morning. This week has been incredible to photograph and the reason why the autumn and winter months are the best time of year (other than missing the warm beach days).

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.

There was only really one place we had to be when you know it’s going to hit 30°. 08:30 milk boat over, 6 hours on Shell Beach, home by 4:30 followed by a swim in Grandpa’s pool. Finally a nice jacuzzi to top it off!

One of my favourite spots in Herm, above Mouisonniere Beach, looking towards Alderney Point. There just something about the vast open common and stunning views out to sea that takes you away from everything.

Must have used every obscenity in the English language battling through traffic this morning, knowing and watching the fantastic light fade. Luckily I had a 2-3 minute window before this amazing sight disappeared.

Herm Part II
I love Shell Beach, always have and always will but this is the first time I’ve been here at sunrise and I can honestly say, it was stunning and probably the best Herm experience I’ve ever had! Paradise was found. No people, just me and nearly a mile of pure unspoiled beach to explore.

Herm Part I
No camping trip would be complete without a little photography thrown in. If you really want a unique Herm experience all to yourself, this is the time to do it. Difficult to expose but well worth getting up for.

For me, it’s all about Shell Beach but anywhere on Herm feels like paradise. The summer season sees thousands of visitors to this small island but come back in the winter for a more secluded and personal experience.
