Driving around the coast to get here at 06:30 was almost like a dream. All the fields were white with frost and the air was so crisp. This spot was absolutely stunning and peaceful until some bell end started his chainsaw and began to cut up fallen branches along the path.

The west side of what was once the barracks, built in fear of a French invasion in the mid 1800’s.

It’s amazing how after what seems to have been the longest winter ever, the sight of the vibrant daffodils and blue sky can really make you feel good. Love this time of year when the world wakes up again!

I tried to find one word to sum up how it felt to be out this morning, it truly was mesmerizing. This is why I cant put down the camera, even after all these years!

I’d love to live in one of Rocquaine’s cottages but the only thing that puts me off is the fact its only 10 metres from the sea and I’ve seen these houses get hammered by the storms!

Took the kids for a 5 mile trek around Fauxquets and Talbot Valley, which was probably too much for their little legs, but it felt good out there today. Saw this couple chilling in their garden, just taking it all in and surrounded by the sound and colours of spring!

Probably my most visited location and I felt optimistic about this morning. It didn’t disappoint!

Some days it all comes down to being in the right place at the right time, or, knowing what you want! The clouds looked like they were picking up some colour about an hour before sunset and the wind was blowing an opening in the clouds in the right direction. All I had to do was get into position and wait for some sun to pop through.

You’ve probably noticed the daffs but keep an eye out for these beauties popping up around the island. This patch in the grounds of St Martins Church is a great spot, every year without fail.

Put a bit of brightness in your day. Go see some pigs.

Possibly breaking my brain with so many blown out highlights but the view was just too good.

I spend countless hours in the warmer months hunting down insects but some days I just casually glance down and there they are. I’m over winter, bring on spring sunshine.

From bed to location in a little over 5 minutes. I tried to have a lie in but just couldn’t resist peeping my head outside to see if there was any colour in the sky. Not quite as spectacular as yesterday although the few extra degrees was very welcome.

A sunrise this good needed a view to match it. Fiery view from the top of Arcade Steps.

Took the kids for a nice hike around the water lanes in St Martin, down to Moulin Huet and back up again. Finley came home with a pet rock who now lives outside our front door.

Hit snooze, you loose. That’s my motto to myself. I’ve figured, if I focus on the time I go to bed and go straight to sleep, I can control my mind to wake up before my alarm. It’s worked three days in a row. Maybe it’s the anticipation of snow, or maybe I subconsciously repeat my motto in my sleep!
In total I had 8 layers of clothes on this morning (including two pairs of trousers) but that icy wind was a killer. As soon as the colour in the sky faded I was out of there sharp.

Over the years I’ve learnt to really appreciate our coastline. From the wildlife and and flowers in the spring to the spectacular and violent seas in the winter, nothing clears your head more than getting out and experiencing what’s on our doorstep. That said, my toes and fingers had lost all feeling by the time I took this. Must get thicker gloves and socks!

The infamous Rue des Choffins gang of chickens, fierce rivals of the Rue des Annevilles chicken clan on the other side of the reservoir. Always check your wallet when leaving this area!

Even on a grey day, there’s still great views to be seen. I was hoping for a drifting snow storm to pass across but most of it seemed to be falling out at sea.
