Guernsey is still good out of season

Today is the 1st November. We missed the end of the liner season in Guernsey as we headed south for some late summer sun. As it happened we need not have bothered, the last week in Guernsey has been sunny and warm.

Currently it is spring tides and with very low tides, a easterly wind and blue skies yesterday, we took advantage of this to put the kite up with the camera attached to get some photos of St Peter Port "out of season". It's a winter scene, no visiting yachts on the pontoon, no tenders, no ferries, no liners at anchor, but not a bad place to live this last day of October.


To the west this view of St Peter Port shows the buildings tumbling up the hill and how it expanded away from the harbour. In the lower part of the image you can see the line of houses on the Strand with their view looking out over the Islands.


Not many riders on the Guernsey Vaeux at this time of year with plenty of room compared to the summer months. But for those you take the ride the Lion and Camel rock at Albecq still take the sun on this lovely October day.
