Saturday 24th November
Thought I’d show you a few pictures from last night, I
attempted to set the camera to 'timer', (but kept getting delay wrong- with hilarious results! Thanks girls
for great food and company, with much laughter!
Did my first dog walk down at Le Saie in the rain, stumbled
among the rocks down on the beach in the seaweed , very pleasant…..
Hubby, daughter and I visited St Martins Public Hall for the
Christmas Market, and it was buzzing- lots of people to chat to, vegetables/cakes
and raffle tickets to buy. We managed to buy two gorgeous table lamps (brand
new), which fit very nicely in the sitting room/snug.
After lunch hubby and I with son no 3 ventured out to Greve
de Lecq woods with Jessie, (her first visit). Needless to say she loved it,
tearing up and down the banks chasing out the odd pheasant!
It was very muddy (not that she minded) and despite being
with two capable Jersey men, we still ‘got lost ‘and had to scramble about
trying to locate the ‘right path’. As for the geography A level son, he thought
he was on the cliff path to Gronez at one point!
However I was extremely grateful to him at the end of the
walk, where Jess had a very near mishap and DL ‘saved’ her from a 10ft drop, by
literally ‘catching’ her as she slid off a muddy bank on the edge of a small
quarry.
To explain further, she was high above us as we were walking
along the path, and we could hear her belting through the undergrowth, but
neither of us were aware of the quarry, we called her and she obediently came careering
down, stopping just short of the drop, but at such an angle she couldn’t scramble
back up, and was teetering on the edge.

I have to say my heart was in my mouth as the men stood
below and ‘caught’ her as she fell, our son getting covered in mud and leaves,
but mostly a very relieved dog!!
“Here,
Gentlemen, a dog teaches us a lesson in humanity.”
Napoleon Bonaparte, after he was saved by a Newfoundland from slipping on his ship and falling overboard. He couldn’t swim and the dog kept him above water until he was rescued.
