Bathtub book club redux, with Priestdaddy, a Weleda arnica muscle soak, and a gin and tonic (not pictured). I have so much 💛 for this beautiful, artful, and, at times, hilarious book.

I just had to assemble a few photos of the memorable food and drink from this past week in Guernsey (plus one fish and chips shot from The Kings Arms in London). In sequence is Rocquette Cider, from the only commercial cidery on Guernsey; Torteval Cheese; bouillabaisse from @octopusgsy; lamb over a garlic and mint risotto from a scrumptious meal at @ogh_guernsey; pain perdu from the same; a sampling of locally harvested turbot, brill, monkfish, sea bass and scallops from La Nautique; strawberry ice cream from @guernseydairy, and a tasting @wheadonsgin with master distiller Luke Wheadon. It’s been an unforgettable week—I suspect reentry to NYC will be rough!

Here is the plan: Fly to Guernsey via either Flybe from Heathrow or Aurigny from Gatwick; journey to Sark by ferry (20 pounds round trip, photo 1); take either a horse drawn carriage, bicycle, or walk around the 4.5 mile island (you will have to walk over La Coupeé, a footbridge connecting “Big Sark” and “Little Sark,” photos 2-4); visit Elizabeth at La Sablonnerie for canapés, lobster, and champagne (photos 5-7); walk through La Seigneurie gardens and maze (photo 8); return home changed. Bonus shot of one of many coastline views from the carriage, photo 9. @visitguernsey

It’s near impossible to select one photo to post at the end of the day here on Guernsey, between the history of the German occupation (from 1940 to 1945, and ultimately the inspiration for the novel The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society) the unparalleled turbot, brill, oysters, and butter, the ever present and serene views of the smaller Channel Islands, and the story of Victor Hugo’s years in exile here. So, more to come. The image is from Jerbourg Point, at the very southeastern point of Guernsey—other Channel Islands, Herm, Sark, and Alderney, and the coast of France, are visible from here.
