GOD RAYS

in

23.10.21

The tides were good but I just couldn’t find a composition I liked on the sand. The cave is always a good place to fall back on but there was very little breaks in the cloud. There’s some annoying over exposed areas on the sea but I like the rays of sunlight breaking in on the coastline.

CRABBIN'

in

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

in

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

GRANDE HARVE

in

31.08.21

This was once where the island was split in two. The estuary ran all the way to the bridge before it was bunded to form the beach you see today. I alway assumed they actually filled in between the two islands but it was just blocked up at each end and left to drain. The Vale Pond is all that remains. The old sea wall still exists around the Vale Church grounds and continues along Folie Lane, just past the filter.

HINTS OF SUMMER

in

18.08.21

I always remember mid August school summer holidays being non stop blue skies, down the beach with mates and cycling around without a care in the world. Summer seems to have faded away in the blink of an eye this year and there’s no signs of an imminent heatwave returning this year. Other than this bust of sun, it’s been another grey and slightly moist one.

PURE SHORES

Alderney Point located at the very far north of Herm. I love this spot, it always feels like your thousands of miles away from home but with that nostalgic Herm vibe from childhood memories.

ROCQUAINE REGATTA

in

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.

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.

FERMAIN MOORINGS

in

16.07.21

Kicking off the return of summer with a little hike down to Fermain Moorings. As soon as the sun came up you could feel the warmth hit you in the face, add to that the gentle sounds of the sea and the Oyster Catchers chatting away, it couldn’t get any more beautiful.

MYSTERY SOLVED

in

14.07.21

For years and years I’ve always wondered what purpose this building had. After some digging I found out that, before being sold to private owners, it was owned by the Corporation of Trinity House of Deptford Strond (and formally as The Master, Wardens and Assistants of the Guild Fraternity or Brotherhood of the most glorious and undivided Trinity and of St Clement in the Parish of Deptford Strond in the County of Kent)

Basically it was managed by Trinity House which is a marine charity responsible for the maintenance of navigational aids and lighthouses around the British Isles.
