Guernsey Scrapbook 1

This summer Steve and I took a short holiday to Guernsey. I love Guernsey and this was my fourth visit and Steve's second. I've been very lucky, and every trip has been beautiful warm sunny weather, with blue skies.

I love walking around the coastline and the walk from Jerbourg to Fermain Bay is one of my favourites. The walk starts by dropping down, so you walk close to sea level, before gaining height again. The path undulates for the remainder. At one point it takes you through some pine trees, which make a great silhouette photo if you do the walk early in the day. At Fermain Bay there is one of the Pre-Martello Loophole Towers, a cafe and toilets. The return journey is inland and the route is partly via one of the old green lanes and a lovely way to end the walk.

Guernsey Scrapbook - 18th June 2014

The photo of the flowers was taken from Castle Cornet and it very representative of the wild flowers that I saw whilst I was there. For the last hour of the day it cost just £1 to go into the Castle and was a great time to visit as all the crowds had gone. An hour was just enough time to walk around the outside and capture some photos.

A note about the cake: The cake at the hotel was amazing and we did have more than one piece each over the holiday!

The porcelain background paper was created using a photo I'd taken at the Little Chapel. I created all of the papers and embellishments and some of these were from a journal kit I'd made a while back. They were perfect with this page as I wanted to write as well as use my photos.
