This is a typical letterbox, or mailbox, in Jersey. It's set into a granite wall, not freestanding like the ones we see in Canada. And they collect on a Saturday!
More of the photos that R came back with after one of his early morning rambles.
This is St Catherine's breakwater. It forms a safe harbour for boats. The boys and I walked along this - it started to rain as we headed seawards, but thankfully stopped again. Many people were fishing off the breakwater.
And of course a visit to Jersey wouldn't be the same without bringing home souvenirs.....five jars of Marmite. R's mum bought five of them, thinking we could each carry one in our cabin bags. However, it would probably have been considered a liquid, and therefore banned, and anyway those 500g jars are heavy. So we put them in plastic bags and wrapped them inside our clothes in our checked-in bags.

Ah ha ha! A friend of mine brought me some of the Valentine's Day Marmite, complete with champagne if you can believe it! We eat marmite every morning on toast. Sometimes I have a sprinkle of cayenne on mine.
Our village postie used to collect mail on a Sunday up until quite recently, but more cutbacks meant it had to be scrapped. Those jars of Marmite should last you a while! x
