Once upon a time, I assumed there were honey bees and bumble bee bees. Then you realise that there’s actually over 250 different species of bees! That’s a a lot of bees.

Always a pleasure to wander around the Pleinmont headland towards the end of the day. This was a small trek down the cliffs to a spot I found a few years back. Works better in the winter when the sun is further south so I will be back for another shot in Q4!

Finley and Jude living their best lives in the water! So glad we’re surrounded by the sea on days like today.

I saw the advertisement on the wall of Saumarez Park so though I’d show my support for another year and see some of they islands finest livestock.

Quite a few of these piglets had crawled under the electric fence for a little wander! I did go back later with Finley and they’d gone back in to their enclosure to have a snooze.

Our little man turns eight years old today. I’m so proud of him and I love him more than he will ever know. He’s my little hero and everything about him reminds me of me when I was his age. The same passion, the same struggles and the same disruptive charm. Happy birthday mate.
Also, what better way to spend your birthday than to have it one the last day of school when you know you’ll be doing sweet FA!

Uninterrupted panoramic views over Petit Port, Moulin Huet and Saints Bay. Such an idyllic spot to stop and unwind, even if it is only for ten minutes!

In the blink of an eye, Alana’s time at St Mary & St Michael has come to an end. All the girls are close to each other but Alana and Harriette have know and been with each other since they started play school 8 years ago!
They are both going on to St Sampson together but in their words, they are all big fishes in a very small pond and they still have their whole loves ahead of them.

One of favourite butterflies, the Common Blue. The males have an amazing bright blue upper wing but the females have a darker wing although further north in the UK, the bluer they are apparently!

The standard nature call trek from Shell Beach. I think everyone I saw stopped to admire the views!

Took the kids away for the weekend to get some Herm therapy which was definitely needed. Met up with Mike and Mel on the boat to give us those holiday feels.

Quite literally, it does rock. My childhood playground and a true gem of the north coast.

The classic school sports day Sack Race! Finley obviously had every intention of flying off the mark and getting his A game on. Not sure what Alana was doing in the background though?

I’m not actively taking part in the 30 Bays but I’m going to do my best to visit most of them over the next few weeks. Feels like a small Mediterranean fishing port.

By far the most popular event at the school summer bbq, the mini sumo wrestling ring! So funny watching them battle it out.

Left a very small window to find somewhere and the tides weren't great but Bordeaux is always a good shout for a last minute rush.
