Hello m'hearties!
It's summer in the northern hemisphere but whether you're north or south of the equator, what better way is there than to spend a few minutes in paradise. My paradise. Herm.
And few words are necessary on the subject, paradise being abstract, personal and relative. But here is my own little piece of paradise, in pictures, taken during a recent sunny day trip to my beloved neighbouring island, just a short boat trip away from where I live.
Herm
Shell beach. My ultimate destination.
My starting point. St Peter Port, Guernsey's only town.
The ferry ride is no more than 15 minutes.
We're soon passing neighbouring Jethou, heading for Herm waters.
Heading into port.
Landed and ready to explore this little gem.
But first, coffee.
And then a hike around this beautiful island.
Belvoir bay from the cliff path.
Resilient plants grow in the rock face.
Shell beach from afar.
Belvoir bay.
The harbour at low tide.
There's always time for a mooch around the gift shops on the way back to the boat.
The cheerful beach bags were tempting.
Guernsey can be seen in the distance.
Jethou.
I always leave the island uplifted.
I hope you enjoyed your trip with me.
To Paradise and back in a day.
A la perchoine,
Mary x.
