We spent Saturday morning doing a lap of the Island (literally) and dropped in on some of the crucial sights of:
- the vineyard / fudge shop which provided ideal fuel for running a half marathon
- beaches with views to neighbouring France and Guernsey
- beaches with views to neighbouring France and Guernsey
- lighthouses - clearly necessary given the shallow and rocky coastline
Saturday avo was spent in a fairly relaxed manner as the ladies found a cosy cafe and the men found sanctuary in the pool, Ashes reading and a Pink Panther film.
Fresh from qualifying for the London marathon, Fraser carved the bumpy course to finish a very impressive 3rd overall in an illegally fast time of 1:19, Julia finished third in her age group and I was passed by numerous bow legged 60 year olds in the final two miles - enough to justify 4 Mars bars and a huge feed at Pizza Express.
With broken legs needing a rest we found the comfort of the cinema and Bond to cap off the weekend.
