James all over

Firstly there's James Road between HD Park and Mont Millais...








.. from the top.







Now, when Saint James gets involved, watch out for a variety of punctuations or lack of...

There's St. James' Street...







.. with St. James the church...
















.. then, around the back lanes there's St. James the school...








.. near Old St. James' Place...






.. with New St. James Place opposite the church...







.. and St. James House...







.. St. James's Lodge...







.. St. James News...








.. and looking back from the start of Don Road.







Finally we have James Street, not named after the saint? ...
(and not after an Ingouville either, apparently)







.. but the watering hole there is - St. James' Wine Bar!

No wonder people get confused :o)

Zoo Changes

I went to the open day to celebrate 50 years of the JWPT/Jersey Zoo/Durrell.

Before I wade through 50 animals pics, here a few shots of things I noticed had changed since my last visit a few years back...






Not often you see a craft-fair going on by the Manor House.







The camelias have been pruned a bit.






The Walled Garden between the Manor House and the gift shop, undergoing some redevelopment.







Well that's different!






The biggest change is the new meerkats enclosure by the cafe. Here the reptile house is on the left as we near the cafe.







Approaching the cafe...








To the viewing dome (made famous by Terry Le Sueur!)







The gorillas are straight ahead over what's left of the lawn.








The view of/from the cafe is now obscured by pampas grasses.







The meerkats are very popular.







The reptile house (I've never seen people queueing to get in before!) is beyond, on the right.

Sunset at Lewis Tower

(the same night as La Rocco sunset pics)

Here's Lewis Tower from the east...







.. and from the south...









.. as the sun prepares to set.







.. promising to be a colourful one.






Towards L'Etacq...
.. a messed up pic I may redo at some point, another time.






Down south...







German fortifications in front of ours from the 1800s...
(Kempt Tower)






.. and again, Lewis's Tower.







Dimpled sand







Dog walkers







There goes the sun then....
































Nearly gone...







Bye then.
