Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

Gorgeous but surreal day in Jersey on our 35th.

Weather stunning so decided to walk from St Brelades Bay to St Ouen.

St Ouen bay is incredible from the Corbiere light house to the Faulkner fish restaurant at the other end it stretches for over 5km of pure white sand.

So, being the soft arses that we are we walked the whole way 11 Kms in total.

Stopped for a pit stop on the way back. DJ playing sounds , beers and nachos in the sun what's not to love. Sat in the baking sun with a pint of Madri listening to Talking Heads mixed with Chic it was truly "once in a lifetime".

2 beers later and we decided that we couldn't face the walk back and hey presto the local bus that only runs once on a Sunday turns up and dropped us half a mile from the hotel.

Just as well as we are walking into St Aubin tonight ( only 3 km this time ) for our anniversary meal. On the way back the restaurant phoned " sorry but we've lost all gas so we can only offer a limited menu". We will roll with it , as long as the leccys on and the wine is cold we will be fine!

Have a great evening everyone!

Just been on FaceTime to grandkid no.3. who’s 10. She said she would sing me her favourite song of the moment which went something along the lines of “killing my ex”. Conversation went :
Hannah: Do you like that song?
Me:Well I’ve never heard it before but No the words aren’t very nice.
Hannah: I suppose they didn’t have songs like that when you were young.
Me: No they didn’t, I think that music was much better than it is now.
Hannah: I bet you’re glad you’re not alive now then. :Blink:

My daughter and granddaughter lived with us for nine/ten years, it was wonderful. They now live a few miles away and we used to pick her up from school and take her home. When the Alzheimer’s took a hold of my wife my daughter started picking her daughter up to take a bit of pressure off me. I’ve had to tell her that I really miss seeing my granddaughter and my grandson these last few months so I will be picking her up again from now on. We have lovely conversations, where my granddaughter tells me everything I need to know about life, kids know everything, and it’s been killing me missing out on these…….
