Rozel landslip destroys old beach hut

 There has been a row of beach huts here for many years. See the blue one?...

 .. too much rain lately, and...

.. now there's a sad gap along the pier.

La Coupe

The little guardhouse at La Coupe (map) ...
.. seems to have sprouted a pic of me!
(Not my doing)
New house on the skyline, which has raised plenty of criticism I've heard...
.. closer .. although now isn't the time to complain about it, considering the owner/developer's recent bereavement. Condolences to Ms R.
But you can probably guess what I'm thinking about the Planning Dept., given the number of large developments around the coast prominently on the skyline these days.
Rozel and fields of plastic.
Wotcha Sheg! (or whatever it is - I really must learn what the various local birds are)

Some odds and ends, a couple of which came from my friend "my roving reporter" :)
- thanks matey!



The tide's in at Rozel...







.. but out at St.Aubin's Fort
(different times and days, obviously!)




Pickwicks/Spar at 14 Queen Street has changed hands - it is now Blue Island News (any connection to the Blue Islands airline, Healthspan's takeover of Rockhopper?)




Channel Report broadcasting live from the square... trip hazard cable duct-taped to the granite... the white thing on a tripod is a microwave link aimed up to the signal station at the fort.




Hazy view on the way down to Ouaisne...







.. which can be a bit of a pain for traffic conflicts...








.. but usually worth it once you're there.

Rozel

(more from the to-do folders from months ago)

A wintery Rozel....






.. closer.







On the pier... red huts...








.. and the Hungry Man cafe...







.. with nicely painted signs...







.. such as Granny Cake - made with real Grannies!

Rozel from Le Couperon Point

As well as the dolmen, guardhouse, and the beach of Saie/Scez, Le Couperon (map) also offers views towards Rozel...



Wide angle...







.. closer (1 - with sky)...







.. (2 - with foreground coast)...








.. closer...







.. closer to the pierhead...







.. and colourful huts.








To the left, the area between the main slipway and the St.Martin/Trinity border (to the left here).

On Saturday evening there was some sort of music event going on...





.. with musicians and a small crowd...








.. at the end of the pier.







But I didn't have time to stop and partake.
