Jersey day Two, from rain to burning sun


 
It was a wet start this morning with just over an hour of rain, luckily it was breakfast time and the buffet was open. ( if I go on to have a heart attack from cholesterol it was unlucky) I tried to limit myself for breakfast thinking of my waistline. 

Jersey military museum!

As the weather was bad it was an indoor pursuit today, Jersey military museum it’s about an hour by bus. Before going we stopped off in M&S to get a packed lunch a roll some crisps 

Jersey sea glass 

and a drink for lunch. Much better than being stuck in the middle of nowhere with no option but an expensive eatery. The museum is £8 for adults and £5 for children. It is a former

Samphire 

bunker and has 5-6 rooms packed full of exhibits all related to the German occupation of the Channel Islands. If you have a daughter who might not be In to military history then there’s a Jersey Pearl shop opposite where you can fashion a piece of jewellery from a fresh water pearl.

The beach behind the military museum is long and sandy with rolling waves it frequented by surfers and kite surfers there are schools dotted down the beach where you can learn. But of more interest to myself is the sea glass, some of the largest pieces I’ve ever found. It’s glass that’s been tossed in the ocean and had all its sharp edges smoothed off. 

It’s been a nice day of adventure now it’s back to the hotel for some complementary Prosecco and a relax before an evening meal. 

Have fun stay safe πŸ‘πŸΌ

Sales, shopping and storms

Image
  Last night I listed some of the golf balls on eBay, the Titleist Pro V1’s and the TruFeel’s. Now it’s a crowded market on eBay so I placed them on promotion to be listed top. This morning I had sold both listings not for much but it’s a start.  After a quick visit to Tesco it was down to the local parcel shop to send them off.  It was an afternoon of preparing more golf balls to be listed and then a quick walk up Rowley lane and a big haul of 28 balls. When I inspected them at home three of the more valuable ones had small splits so we’re condemned to the bin.  I’ll keep you posted on more sales, have fun stay safe πŸ‘πŸΌ

Afternoon walk

Image
  It was an afternoon walk, I headed up to Rowley path as I feel there might have been a few Christmas golfers. I made it up to the top of the path and back. I found 11 balls today which was good going. The farmer had also been out with the chainsaw making the path safe by cutting some fallen trees. He’d left a can of two stroke petrol/oil mix near the tree so I grabbed it and left it on a fence post near to the farm for them to find in the daylight. It was a nice walk, I’ve finished Phoenix and I’m onto a new book so look out for a bad review.  Have fun stay safe πŸ‘πŸΌ
