Well whilst TASSIE and the Eastern states of Australia drown, we are on the high seas. It’s good to be on Voyager again, a limo ride down to Portsmouth saw us embarking just in time for Afternoon tea,  and Champagne !

Our first port of call is St Helier, on Jersey, one of the Channel Islands. Early fog and mist has been burnt off, it’s a sunny day perfect for shopping. As we have been here several times we’ve left the tourist attractions behind and gone bargain hunting ! Finding something for Hazel’s 30th birthday……..proved a bonus. More Jaeger, a discount outlet mum ! and some trinklets for Mark have made an enjoyable day. Situated close to France, Jersey has a unique atmosphere. Occupied by Germany during WW2, the statue below celebrates the islands liberation, and is located in the aptly named Liberation square. Tomorrow we head to France at Honfleur with a trip to Monets Garden. Cheers  M & H
