Jersey organs

Weather good. Started at St Paul's a Walker 1918 and quite a god sound despite the carpets. Action hard. Found a couple of gorillas especially in the fine library. St Luke's is High church and big. A reasonable 3 manual Makin. Nice walk in Howard Davis park and lunch at the rose garden cafe. Found 2 gorillas. Drove to Trinity and St John's church where Revd Beverley Sproat opened the organ for us recently fixed. Ingham 1890 and again a good sound. Played Peeters, Moore, Statham and Whitlock Plymouth suite. Back for tea and chat to Janet just back from New York. To dinner at Wildfire which we enjoyed last year. Chorizo starter, delicious steak, profiteroles. Noisy drunk 40th party next to us! 

Tennerfest

A late breakfast. Trevor not well Janet comes back from New York tomorrow. Weather improved in afternoon. Read book a.m. Delicious lunch at Longueville manor which has a great ambience. £20 each for 3 courses. Bruce went into town to see accountant so we went in search of gorilla statues large and small and found 11. Saw more of St Helier and the town church. Tea at the coffee shop opposite the Sand Street car park. Old books to read! Emma joined us for dinner at Manos portuguese again £20 for 3 large courses. Sardines, pork, tiramisu.
