Up at 7 and bus to East Croydon and train to Gatwick arrived 9.15. 10.15 Easyjet flight delayed to 12.15. Air traffic controllers were off sick. Avis car and got confused trying to get to the zoo going round the island. Ended up at Poplar tea rooms for clotted cream tea. Went past La Rocca. Excellent air bomb and charming host. Tea in Sun lounge. Trevor sounds South African but is Jersey born. Bruce picked us up and excellent dinner at Little Thai. Bream and grilled pineapple. Tuesday 10th rain overnight . Bruce took us to Jersey War tunnels which was fascinating and very wellpresented then to the Jersey military museum in a bunker on 5 mileroad. Lots to see there too. To the wildlife hide and saw lots of birds. Tea and lemon drizzle cake at Elizabeth Best jewellery at St Peter windmill. To the breakwater in the rain and a lovely coast drive back for a rest and read a brief history of Jersey by Peter Hunt. The spring flowers and willows are lovely. Excellent dinner at Bass...
