Another stunning weekend on the rock soaking up the sun. Started nice and early on Havelet, trying to frame this yacht before the sun got too intense.

First day of my two weeks off work and celebrating our 11th wedding anniversary in the place it all happened. I think I speak for all the people who’ve ever visited Herm that it holds a special place in your heart that will always draw you back for more, year after year. I want our kids to remember these days and one day look back and appreciate how lucky they actually are.

Kicking off the return of summer with a little hike down to Fermain Moorings. As soon as the sun came up you could feel the warmth hit you in the face, add to that the gentle sounds of the sea and the Oyster Catchers chatting away, it couldn’t get any more beautiful.

Our little soldier turned seven today. He’s such a kind little boy and has a heart of gold. Absolutely loves his dinosaurs and now even had a dino apron and chefs hat. In every way, he reminds me of myself as a child. Some days I watch him play and and it just takes me back 30 years.

For years and years I’ve always wondered what purpose this building had. After some digging I found out that, before being sold to private owners, it was owned by the Corporation of Trinity House of Deptford Strond (and formally as The Master, Wardens and Assistants of the Guild Fraternity or Brotherhood of the most glorious and undivided Trinity and of St Clement in the Parish of Deptford Strond in the County of Kent)
Basically it was managed by Trinity House which is a marine charity responsible for the maintenance of navigational aids and lighthouses around the British Isles.

Because, the sun was out and when it shines in Guernsey, the beach is the best place to be.

With the imminent return of some high pressure goodness, it seemed like a good time to return to a classic that’s close to home.

Great Up Climbing party for Finley (who’s 7 on Tuesday) with his mates and big sis Alana. Big thanks to the girls who ran the session, they were great and also to Danni for organising the whole thing. The cake was delicious too!

Made myself a new friend in the form of a dog. His owner was calling from a long way off and he just followed me for ages until I turned back and reunited him.

Nothing beats a classic school sports day. Both kids put in everything into their races and Finley managed to laugh for most of his race but that’s what it’s all about, fun!

Last of the kitten spam for a while but how can you resist the urge to grab a photo of this! He’s such a fun, happy little kitten who’s definitely made himself at home. Certainly added some entertainment into our lives. They don’t stay small for long so you can image how many photo’s I’ve got already.

After the excitement of this mornings unseasonal gale force winds it was nice to feel a little bit of warmth and ditch the winter gear. I did notice there were three conger eels drying out in the back of the boat. Is this a Guernsey thing i’ve missed?

Found around 50 of these Gatekeepers on the edge of a field up at Pleinmont. Never seen so many in one place. There’s a few butterflies on my list to find this summer, the main one that I’ve only found once is the Green Hairstreak. I found one a few years ago on some gorse at Petit Bot but didn’t get a chance to get a shot.

Spend way too much time relaxing today and the motivation was well gone by the time I went out. The rain was lingering overhead and all I wanted to do was just veg on the sofa.

Officially introducing the newest member of the Le Tissier household. We’re still undecided about his name but for now he’s called Chewie.

A typical summers day as the weather warms up. This shot reminds me of one of the lochs we drove past in Scotland, an eerie but calm and gentle feel to it.

A little continental influence in the heart of St Peter Port. Town looks great in summer, if you ignore all the scaffolding and empty shops!

No.3 on my list of favourite south coast beaches. When you finally make it to the viewpoint, it’s kind of a standard Guernsey thing to just stop and have a good look at the beauty of it then head down and find a spot.

I can’t unsee a really happy and over excited flower that’s just had its tummy tickled or a flower version of Pikachu but it’s a Bee orchid. Designed by nature to mimic a bee so that they would attempt to mate with it and spread their pollen.
