Hazy Lazy Days

Following hot on the heels of the camping trip I headed off to Guernsey. This time for a week with the family and my cousin's wedding. We were held on the runway on the way out due to heavy rain and lightning, but once we were there the weather was glorious - resulting in a lot of pink noses.



Both the bride and groom's families took apartments at The Del Mar Court which I can highly recommend. The accommodation was well equipped and nice and clean as were the grounds and heated pool. The staff were friendly and couldn't do enough to help, sorting out any problems or queries promptly.



As this was a week of celebration there was a lot of eating and drinking but we managed to fit in a few touristy things too. A trip to Herm, a bus ride around the island and and afternoon watching sand racing at Vazon Beach before coffee and a sneaky ice cream at Crabby Jack's.

Happy Campers

I recently returned from a couple of days camping with my friend and god-daughters. As I'm the only person who had camped before I booked a pitch on a small site 5 miles from their house. That way if the two girls (both under five) weren't enjoying themselves or the British weather did it's usual and wouldn't stop raining we could pack up and head home.

The site was fantastic. A small family run site with a mix of static caravans, tourers and tents spread over 3 fields. There was a small shop with a good selection of produce including local cakes and free range eggs.



We were the only tent pitched in our field and the girls enjoyed running around without any obstacles to avoid. Free range chickens, ducks and geese have run of the camp and on more than one occasion an inquisitive chicken had to be shoo'd away from supper preparation.



We had a trip to visit Mary Arden's house and farm which was in the next village. There was a great little cafe which provided a change my camping stove cooking. The girls enjoyed seeing all of the animals and had a good play in the playground.



The girls enjoyed themselves so much that I need to look for another local campsite we can head off to when the break up at they end of the month.
