So here comes another island in my life, Sark's big sister Guernsey. Although it is the finance industry heaven (which I'm not that keen on) it has beautiful nature and my favourite sandy beaches. Guernsey cows are nearly on every corner I go and hedge veg stalls have loads of autumn goodies.
When you don't work, you have so much free time to do whatever you want. I've been indulging the beauty of green rolling hills, swimming in cold sea, riding my orange bike and trying to remember how to surf. The winter is here which means losing light already at 4 o'clock in the evening and with my 10 hours proper sleep everynight (:)) that leaves only 5 hours of daylight. So I've been walking or riding around with map in my pocket (like real tourist..) and trying to familiarize with narrow small roads that from first glimpse look all the same.
Oh, and I forgot to mention that I am slowly joining the drivers community. Learning to drive in Guernsey is tricky. The roads are so narrow that they look like one way roads and to avoid smashing into cars you need to drive on the pavements. I need to make sure I master my reversing as well because often you don't even have space to pass by other cars. O dear, why did we invented motor cars? I would be happy to continue with horses, haha.
The van converting is going slowly but hey ho, it's the process that counts, yeah?
My free days are over now. I'm officially a bartender again. And I think I chose one of the last pubs in Guernsey where community feeling is still around, where people leave their wallets or phones on the bar without fearing to loose them, where nearly every person coming to pub has ''special needs'' as I call it (their favourite drink, favourite glass and favourite seat, am I in Bel Air again, haha?).
So life is good, as always or at least most of the time.
Merry December!
