Our friends Julia and Brian arrived Friday morning from Southampton airport.
Within half an hour our local " Guern" friends Pete and Pat Norey joined us
too. Pete and Pat have been amazing in putting us up at their lovely home
for a few days during Shelena's handover and knew absolutely everything that
we asked about Guernsey for what turned out to be a 7 week stay at QE2
Marina. Pat mentioned the Cook Shop which became an invaluable source of
excellent pre-prepared meals that were tasty and satisfying as were their
desserts! It turns out that the Cook Shop has a shop in Hartley Witney not 5
miles from where we had lived. Shelena's freezer is now stuffed with Cook
Shop meals.

A busy weekend indeed because our sailing friends David and Vicki sailed to
Guernsey from the Solent in their Moody. They had friends Jane and Sue as
guests aboard and so we finished our pre dinner bubbly before legging it to
the Guernsey Yacht Club for Friday's fish and chips that appears to be a bit
of a tradition for the locals. Tasty that was too and as it turned out we
returned several Fridays to repeat the experience.

Next day we together with Julia, Brian, David and Vicki set off for a local
hike to Lithou Island accessible by foot from Guernsey at low tide only. The
tide was kind allowing us time for lunch before the tide turned and we had
to leg it back to Guernsey.
