Back home tomorrow, been a fantastic fortnight thanks.
Lots of walking, fishing ( a few bass on lures ) and swimming. Sea is still remarkably warm, around 16 degrees.
Dogs are whacked out, we're all ready to get home now !
Ha, good to hear, yes I have a 5/3 wetsuit (I hate cold water) and I'm sweating in it when I go out on the board at the moment!
Herm!View attachment 54070
Went to a beer festival on another Island called Herm. This is the menu, what would you have chosen?
After going through that entire beer menu, I would probably stay on the island, out under the stars!Very nice! A better selection than you’ll see in most places. I’m drawn to the Rev James but would probably want to work my way through the lot - then make a choice on which to stay on

The Mermaid is still the only pub but there might be a bar at the hotel too. On Sark now, with 2 pubs! One has Butcombe Gold, the other has Black Sheep. I also had their only display bottle of Ghostship!Herm!
SWMBO'd and I had a glorious day there July 1979.
We were honeymooning on Guernsey and the guest house host advised, "go down to the harbour early on a foggy morning and take the ferry to Herm.
No one else will fancy setting out on a morning like that. The fog will clear and you will have the island to yourselves.
He was correct.
We walked across and all around the island, then had Guernsey bitter in the Mermaid Tavern (the only pub on the island in those days) by the harbour with our ploughman's lunch.
Ah, memories.
