I have been busy today, not occupied with anything physically productive but researching, planning and eventually booking a little trip for the summer.
It was recently announced that, as both the Isle of Man and Guernsey have been virus free for over 40 days it was safe to introduce an airbridge between the two islands for six weeks over the summer, to give residents of both islands a chance of a break. To visit friends and family or just have a short holiday.
The flights appeared for sale this morning so we grabbed the opportunity to book a week's break, just for a change of scenery.
We are hoping that the weather will be kinder to us down there as our summers are quite often wet and windy. We have booked a little cottage close to some walking routes and may even hire a couple of bicycles for a day or two for a tour around the quiet Guernsey lanes.
As all other holiday options are off for the remainder of this year, this will be our little treat.
Look out Guernsey, here we come.
Lucky you. The cottage and walking routes sound idyllic. Lucky you again.
ReplyDeleteI am quite looking forward to it. Hoping for good walking weather.
DeleteLashings of ginger beer and take Timmy the 🐕. I am very jealous 😋.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to 'join' the two islands. your holiday sounds just what you need, in a safe place.
ReplyDeleteFrom one small island to another, but hopefully one with more sunshine 😉
DeleteOh you lucky people! Guernsey is beautiful (unless it rains...) We had a number of very happy holidays there until the travel became too much for us. (I don't like flying so we used to go by train and boat and then a hire car when we arrived.) Enjoy your break x
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to it. No car hire though, just walking and cycling and the odd taxi!
DeleteI've always fancied a break in the Channel Islands but have never been.
ReplyDeleteWe have been to Jersey a couple of times, via London, but the door-to-door service to Guernsey sounded too good to miss.
DeleteAn ideal opportunity. Glad you are able to take advantage of it. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThanks Chris x
DeleteSounds perfect.
ReplyDeleteI am hoping for some sun
DeleteGuernsey, had some fantastic times there in the past.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your holiday :)
I have only visited once before, and that was twenty years ago for work so didn't get to see much!
DeleteThat sounds delightful. So delightful that I am not even going to make a mischievous remark.
ReplyDeleteGood grief!
DeleteHow exciting. Something to look forward to.
ReplyDeleteIt's silly but I am actually excited.
DeleteThe Channel Islands is an area to which I have never been and am probably unlikely every to go. Enjoy your holiday.
ReplyDeleteThank you Graham.
DeleteCan only imagine how much you are looking forward to this break. May you have wonderful weather. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteKeeping fingers crossed
DeleteI've been to Jersey many times but never to Guernsey. It's on the bucket list though. Have a brilliant (sunny) time. x
ReplyDeleteHere's hoping 😎
DeleteHow lovely to have something to look forward to. I hope you have fab weather and a great time.
