10th March

Started at the Candie Garden but it's a very rainy day and the Guernsey Museum is in the grounds... only that's closed.
Went to the Beau Sejour centre to see the tapestry, St James' church and grounds are very pretty, but the tapestry museum is closed.... think there's a theme to our holiday here. The other half got absolutely soaked through when we were walking round the shops - it was a sudden downpour, I escaped the worst as I have a hooded jacket and did lots of ducking in doorways. Well we saw the Pearl shop, not exactly a tourist spot unless you've loads of money and an expensive taste.
Oatlands was better, craft shops and historic stuff to see and a cafe for cream teas (it's quite expensive but then they have you by the wallet as there's no where else for food). Interesting to see Guernsey was originally divided into 2 islands.
Weather's getting rough - lots of lashing rain and high winds so we went back to the Lodge and only just down the road for dinner.
