Jersey Video Series 1 - The Fountain
Yes, we're back from our holiday in Jersey. The island was lovely. Seeing friends was wonderful. The trip home was a nightmare.
I shot some nice videos (of Emily) while there so I'll be ambitious and plan a short entry for each day this week in which I will recount an anecdote from our trip and leave you with an unrelated yet entertaining video snippet. Sound good? Good.
The reason for our trip was to catch up with some of Jan's friends whom we had not seen for what seemed like a very long time. David and Emma live in Jersey now that his government job brought him there and their subsequent wedding meant that she pretty much had to follow sooner or later. She now works for the government, too. They should own half the island in another couple of years.
David and Emma put us up in their new house and we convinced Ian and Hastings Claire to fly down from England and join us. These are all really Jan's friends but they're such great people that I feel like they're my friends, too. We lucked out and had wonderful weather almost the whole time we were there. This allowed us to go on island adventures (when we weren't sitting up late drinking spirits and singing along with Flanders and Swann and The Muppets). I'll tell you more about some of these adventures tomorrow. In the meantime, here's Emily and a fountain:
