We’re in Jersey, notable for its cows, sweaters and merchant bankers making rich people richer by means of Jersey’s low taxes. Actually Guernsey has a similar tax regime, but Jersey seems to have more suits and sparkly offices in evidence. At least in Guernsey, the bankers toil away unseen in undistinguished buildings. (Yesterday though we were passed by a Lamborghini – this on an island where the maximum speed limit is 35mph.)
A relaxed day for us that started with torrential rain, which we hoped would clear before we had to make a bee-line down the hill to the ferry. It did but then M discovered her back tire was flat, so we had to do a change in record time and then head off. By the time we arrived in Jersey the sun was out and we had a pleasant afternoon to look around St. Helier.

Guernsey is also famous for its cows and sweaters. And Alderney makes sweaters too!
