Mist and May
All up early, to have breakfast with Beth and John before they left. The island still foggy, but luckily everyone got away okay. Sam and Jade left later on, and we had a chance to walk with them on the cliffs again, and have a bite to eat at lunch. Jade's Auntie Lynne kindly came to drive them off to the airport in the afternoon.
I mooched off to do a spot of shopping in St Martin's, and said hello while I was there to La Gran'mère,
It felt quiet with everyone having flown the coop, luckily we had plans, and were picked up by Richard at seven and taken back to have one of Jane's delicious suppers. As we drove through town, we saw the woman who is in the Guernsey film, being photographed between the Town Church and the pub opposite.
Lots to discuss with Jane and Richard. Their travels, and not to mention the publications of Guernsey Legends, and Stone Witness since we last saw each other. Great to see them, and hear how Jane's book launch was going. I also learned that Richard had gone through an intense tropical fish keeping phase at one point. He had gone to a fish show and seen a freshwater pikelet, and mentioned to a fishing friend how nice it would be to keep one. The friend arrived some time later with a bucket containing two pikes, which having nowhere to put them, were put into the bath for a couple of days. Eventually Richard was able to release the snappy things back into the wild.
Tiredly clambered into the cab, which arrived dead on time, thankfully, and after fond farewells were driven home through the Guernsey streets. Somewhere, the cab driver said, there was a big party to celebrate the film. I silently bit my thumb at it.
