La Duchesse's Notes From A Smaller sland #1



My lovely friend, La Duchesse, is staying with us in Guernsey for a few weeks.

Over the next few weeks I'll share some of the island sights she has enjoyed.  I hope you enjoy them too.

We went for a refreshing swim.

La Duchesse brought her phone into the sea for a group selfie.

      Oh yes, the summer fun has started. Retirement is full-on, that's for sure. You're having a fabulous time too with your beautiful garden, your Sunday away days and holidays.
      Hugs and keep kool, x.

      Too hot for me, Laurie, but at least we have the cool sea air. If I'm not swimming or walking I'm mostly indoors! What about you? You must be sweltering. And I have no idea what the Blog Club link is, but I'm flattered and very grateful as I'm sure it's really nice.
      Keep kool, x.
