Welcome to Herm

Whenever she can the ‘Goat Lady’ aka Jane, takes Sweet Pea and Honey Bun out for a walk.  The ‘boys’ are very well behaved and wherever Jane goes the goats go too!

BBC Guernsey’s mid-morning radio programme was broadcast live from the Herm Trident ferry on Friday 27th August.  Jim Cathcart, the presenter, boarded Herm Trident V at 9.30am just as his programme started and did a series of interviews with people on board travelling to and from Herm.  Whilst the boat was unloading he chatted to some Herm residents.  The 12.35 arrival on Herm was VERY busy with arrivals, mainly coming to stay at the campsite for the bank holiday weekend.  I managed to get a photo of White House Hotel head receptionist, Linda Gijsbertsen being interviewed by Jim.  Just before the interview started Linda had a surprise meeting with one of her ex-tutors from her college in Holland!  He had just arrived on Herm for a short visit and hadn’t been expecting to see Linda at Rosaire Steps!

I was out and about on Herm on a rather dull August Sunday but my day was brightened when I came across this fantastic beach art.  The sea monster was lying above the high tide mark in the corner of Belvoir beach and had been created late the evening before by guests staying in one of Herm’s holiday cottages.
