L'Ancresse

Amazing day with my nearest and dearest, kicked off with breakfast at the Beach House followed by a lovely roast cooked by Danni, who actually took this picture off us. I don’t often get in front of the lens but there are exceptions.

It’s not easy getting up for sunrise in the summer but just being out there watching the world wake up is something that drives me to keep doing it. No more than three cars passed, a few cyclists and a load of birds singing in the trees.

5am, L’Ancresse common. A beautiful soft mist covering almost the entire low lying land.

If I had to depict Guernsey in one image, this would probably be it. Even on a wet and windy day, there’s always a chance there'll be some light to play with, even when it only last for less than a minute!

When the sun sets through the rain! Fascinating skies, made even better when the colours just exploded.

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.

Hit snooze, you loose. That’s my motto to myself. I’ve figured, if I focus on the time I go to bed and go straight to sleep, I can control my mind to wake up before my alarm. It’s worked three days in a row. Maybe it’s the anticipation of snow, or maybe I subconsciously repeat my motto in my sleep!
In total I had 8 layers of clothes on this morning (including two pairs of trousers) but that icy wind was a killer. As soon as the colour in the sky faded I was out of there sharp.

Of all the Loophole Towers dotted around the island, this one has to be my favourite. Amazing views out over the north, across L’Ancreese bay and an elevated view as far as Castel church to the south.

Not one to let a colorful cloud formation slip away and 15 minutes to spare, L’Ancresse had all the offerings I needed. This is the place I grew up and holds many happy memories.

I’d expected it to be a bit overcast this morning so didn’t plan anything but getting out early on days like this just makes life much better.

Probably the most peaceful and calmest morning I’ve seen since the end of last summer. No wind, clear skies and a beautiful low mist hanging over the common.

The older I get, the more I see myself living in a nice cosy farmhouse. This barn caught my eye from the hill overlooking L’Ancresse.

Holidays are probably out the question for the foreseeable future so I’ll embrace what I’ve been doing for the last 6 years and be a tourist in my own home. This iconic landmark is a brand in itself and there’s nothing else quite like it anywhere else.

Guernsey’s answer to Stonehenge. I remember them digging this stone up from L’Ancresse over 20 years ago and queeny popping over for the day to unveil it.

I’ve always struggle to find a shot with this tower but today the light just seemed right. Temperature aside, it almost felt like a summer evening!

It started off clear and a bit dull but once the rain had passed the sky really lifted the atmosphere.
