Photos of the holiday

The view from 37000 feet up!


Leaving Jersey - looking out of the airplane window, we could see the whole island laid out like a patchwork quilt. This is the view from the west of the island. It was lovely to have a clear day and be able to appreciate the smallness of the island. We also had a perfect view of the coast of France and England as we flew to Heathrow.


Inside our accommodation. It was very comfortable - kitchen/living room, two bedrooms, a bathroom, a shower room, a washing machine, and a play area outside with trampoline. L spent a lot of time draped over that sofa with his laptop! No internet though.


This is the outside view with our rental car, a Ford Focus, in front. Around the corner to the left of the picture is another smaller apartment and behind is the main house, a traditional Jersey granite farmhouse, where the owners live.


And one more for today....this is a two-way road....er, lane. This is the road leading to my parents' house. Once you get off the main (two lane) roads, this is what you get - a maze of lanes that are barely wider than a car. You have to hope for a layby (a temporary widening of the road, or someone's driveway, or the entrance to a field) if you want to pass someone. Admittedly, the hedgerows don't always encroach this much - June is the month for the "branchage" when all property owners have to cut back their foliage along public roads.

More tomorrow...
