                                                  Sunsets looking towards our sister Isle Guernsey from Jersey’s North Coast. What is the old saying? Red Sky at night Jersey’s delight because Guernsey is on fire.

      A joke honestly!

I do not know if you already know about 2 sites on the internet. One is the “7dayshop.com” and the other is “play.com”  I wanted a hammock and the only ones over here were £32 +, on play.com £27 i know that this is not a great saving but it was the make that i wanted and it is much better than the £32 one.

7dayshop.com for photo paper etc and all sorts of other things have special prices all the time. Worth checking the site out before buying else where.

It was the only bear i had to use for my profile in the house besides one of over 60 years old.

Now let us get serious. Where is this? Look carefully into the background and you may just be able to pick out two things that would give you a chance of getting it.

         Two of my favourite trees that are in my front garden.

        Flowering Cherry.                                                        Magnolia.

 They do not last for long but are a picture when at their very best.                                                                                                              

                                                              “Splash”

The incoming tide as it reached the boulders at the bottom of the sea wall in St.Ouen’s Bay.

I put some royal potatoes in 3 weeks ago and covered them with some hard plastic sheeting. They are doing very well and i have taken the covering off now. Got to replace some plants which i lost in the winter. One i bought was a new version of Red Robin, the whole of the bush is reddish so my wife tells me instead of just the tips. The squirrels are back in numbers, while in England saw a grey squirrel and a Green Woodpecker along with a wild deer that had come out of the woods to a tennis court in the back of a house tried to get the camera out back it had seen me and shot off.

I have passed this place thousands of times but never from this view point before.

St. Ouen’s Bay and yes the German’s put them there for defence. Just like the D-Day Landing beaches with mines on the top together with all sorts of metal obstacles planted at roughly half tide. Meaning if the boats come in on high tide or half tide they will get blown up and like on D-Day they came in on low tide to miss the obstacles but had a long way to go to reach the safety of the land. Remember the German’s had everything zeroed in so no place was safe anywhere on the beach.
