In the first of a new series, I look back at some of the people, places and things which have so richly influenced and inspired my love of all things simple. In February 1994, we took Granny with us for a long weekend in Guernsey. It was my first (and only, and last) time flying, and my first time leaving the mainland (except the Isle of Wight). We flew on a tiny (wind-up?) Air UK plane from Southampton Airport, staying at the Duke of Normandy Hotel near St Peter Port. The Channel Islands have had a chequered past, and very much have an identity of their own, yet it is this which somehow makes them so special and alluring.
What a charming little place. So beautiful. I’d love to visit it someday! And you’ve reminded me that I have a Kintsugi kit…and a mug from The Mindful Potter that needs repairing 💛

It’s so pretty! Definitely worth visiting.
So delighted to have discovered you on Instagram and now here. Your photos on IG are exceptional. I'm looking forward to reading you here.
Thank you so much 🙏
Wonderful recollections of our time there and exploration of its history.🥰
Love this so much David. "Touching" is a great word association for such a uniquely multifaceted structure.
Thank you 🙏 I think that in many ways, it’s an overused word so can lose its true meaning.
It really is beautiful! And such a special memory to keep forever!
Thank you 🙏 Such a beautiful and special place.
This was so lovely to read David – and great to see those images too!
Thanks so much 🙏
