Natural Guernsey

Guernsey reminded us of Ireland. It is very lush & green. The same plants there are huge compared to Kansas. Nearly everybody has a garden where they grow their own vegetables. Our friend, Mel, even had a green house where he was growing plums, grapes, peaches, etc. They do have to fight off the rabbits. The Hobbs' have a pet rabbit that is the biggest rabbit we ever met.

Fish is one of the main food products. We indulged in crab, shrimp, sea bass and a lot of other seafood. It was all prepared fantastically; again the French influence we guess.

The flowers are abundant and magnificent. Plus, they don't seem to have any weeds anywhere. It doesn't seem possible, maybe it's because they are such a small island. We also never saw any bugs - a big plus for us - no mosquitoes!!

P.S. Thanks to John Hughes for the great movies. We will miss you.
