IRON HEART World Tour II 2011-2012 - Beatle Buster SBG

[Simon]

I've spent this week in the Channel Islands, normally a lovely place to be in sunny July, unfortunately the weather has been really crappy all week. 

Still a wet day in the Channel Islands is better than a sunny day in the office 

Starting in Jersey (the original one, not the new upstart)

The tides here are some of the most extreme anywhere in the world with 10m between high & low. Its not uncommon to see a boat perched on top of a pinnacle of granite!

St Helier

The market hall in St Helier.

I love this coffee shop and make it a "must do" every time I'm here All the coffee is roasted on the premises, the staff are great, the food is home made and its all crazy cheap. They claim the name was stollen buy an American coffee chain?

Black coffee, black denim

And the weather gets worse!

The Channel Islands are the only part of the UK that where under German Occupation during the war. Bunkers still litter the beaches everywhere.

Every view also includes some form of Napoleonic Martello tower.

A quick skip across to Guernsey.

I love Guernsey, my favourite of the Islands buy far. Unfortunately the weather is no better!

Then the weather cheered up and my Boss decided he wanted a break from the office and joined me on Guernsey, which meant that I had to swap the Busters for something more formal 

Still the Sun is out so can't moan

Thanks Monday; yep my job does take me round some of the nicest parts of this great country. Unfortunately my family are all still at home, which kind of takes the edge off it a little.

Thanks for the Clynelish tip off, I've never tried a dram, but I certainly will now! Michael Jackson gives it a good write up as well, one for my next trip north I think.

[Simon]

You should! It's my favorite dram, if I had to name one. And Michael Jackson shares this opinion a bit (even if he's more of a Macallan guy!). Try to get a Brora, 30 YO.

Dizco, you ready for these?  Coming your way Weds or Thurs…...G
