St.Brelade's Bay and Ouaisne

From St.Brelade's Bay looking over to Ouaisne and the headland of Portelet Common in the weak evening sunshine...







.. closer...







.. 3 paragliders soaring above the La Cotte cave area...







... just one of them, closer.







As the sun set behind the church, shadows advanced quickly across the sand.






A couple make their way to the Ouaisne half of the beach...







.. where the abandoned beach cafe premises have been spruced up and brought back into life.

El Tico

Approaching the newly built El Tico II (cafe) from the south...







.. getting closer...







.. closer.







Behind, this stretch is a bit bland - the bare grit area should be fenced off to allow greenery to grow?






Looking up at the new cafe again...







.. from by the Lifeguards' tower. Just a small remnant of the old blue El Tico remains in the form of a bit of wall.






It's where the prom with railings ends...







.. closer.







Steps







Old bunker







Looking over to the white house..







.. on a Good Surf day.

French (Norman) Market in the Square

From Library Place... what's goin' on 'ere then in the Royal Square...

(3 weeks ago)






.. aha, a market from Normandy...







.. great atmosphere, picturesque with a good layout...







.. stalls down each side under the trees...









.. and a central bit too.








.. the pigeon wasn't getting any of these sweeties.







Looking back from by the statue.







Approaching from the Peirson...






I think they did well, it was very busy at times.

There was cheese, take-away food, wines and Calvados, clothes, jewellery and handbags, cakes, biscuits, sweets, and more...






It gave the al fresco pub patrons something different to look at.







Looking through a fruit-n-veg stall.

Cycle Races - "Jersey Town Criterium"

One of a number of posters which are still up, 2 weeks later :)












Start/Finish line near the cenotaph...







.. closer.







A recumbent at Charing Cross.







Unusual to see barriers across the precinct...







.. kids race...







.. looking down Halkett Place...








.. more...







.. perhaps tired competitors could pop into the States for a snooze? ;)







At the Weighbridge...







.. a good place to catch the colourful action...








.. as they round the bend...






.. I bet they loved those speed bumps.








Looking back to there, from near the Town Church.






Count the powers in Hill Street -
Legal Power, Political Power, Church Power and Pedal Power.








Around the bend by the States - make your own jokes here.






Conway Street just after the end of racing...







.. which leads to Broad Street...








.. to Charing Cross...






.. and via York Street...







.. the finish.. here after the event...







.. as the clear-up begins.
