I have some items that are precious for me for their emotional value much more than for their monetary one, and I like to wear earrings and bracelets to match my outfits.

I had the same feeling as you wrote about just looking at the pictures. As the old cliché goes, 'nothing much to write home about.' I will never understand the love of jewelry.

Shops and restaurants are alright, but certainly not enough for me to consider a trip to the island - it has so much more to offer.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-48848550330677367422016-05-27T17:50:04.117+02:002016-05-27T17:50:04.117+02:00I was in St Helier about 10 years ago.

Not a place worth coming to the island for, but a few nice little corners. To be honest, I think I would be tired of it after a couple of hours. But I did miss that fascinating looking clock, and would love to have seen that.

Like you, I think it makes a great picture like that - more interesting than if the bird had patiently waited :-)Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-84216669222806899132016-05-25T12:53:48.786+02:002016-05-25T12:53:48.786+02:00I am very impressed with the photo of the seagull ...I am very impressed with the photo of the seagull in flight! <br />I have fond memories of speaking with someone from Jersey and he really made me want to see it and your posts do the same!Kay G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07228498846814735537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-59185402748781479202016-05-24T07:36:08.192+02:002016-05-24T07:36:08.192+02:00Thank you, Graham, it's nice to know my posts ...Thank you, Graham, it's nice to know my posts are both enjoyable and interesting!<br />Ever since the comments about the Potato Peel Society book, I have been thinking about re-reading it - I am still pretty sure I've read it, but it must have been years ago and my memory of it is a bit fuzzy.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-53397028644186009102016-05-23T19:24:22.063+02:002016-05-23T19:24:22.063+02:00I am so enjoying seeing the Island through your ey...I am so enjoying seeing the Island through your eyes. It's an Island about which I know very little and every bit of information increases my interest in knowing more. Whilst it's not strictly relevant I'm now reading <i>The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society</i> because of comments on your posts.Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.com
