Guernsey and beyond

By Gsyguy

Fancy a cuppa ?

Thanks for all the comments on yesterday's blip.

I nipped off work early and drove to the West coast, and already had in mind what I wanted to blip today.

Known locally as the "Cup and Saucer", Fort Grey is a Martello Tower built in 1804 to defend Guernsey's west coast. Many vessels have come to grief on this beautiful but treacherous coast, and the Martello Tower now houses a Shipwreck Museum with a surprising variety of objects recovered from the wrecks. The information panels tell the gripping stories surrounding the disasters which date from the HMS Sprightly in 1777 to the Vermontborg in 2003.

Quite pleased with this and looks lovely in large.

Hope everyone had a great start to the week.
