LucyK! · 23 Jul 2007, 14:42

Diet? Not a word that features in my vocab...just had bacon sandwiches followed by Dairy Milk with bits of Crunchie in it and tea

SamCat · 23 Jul 2007, 14:42

Unfortunately, at my age it is in my vocabulary...however, it is a VERY dirty word...

A fresh crab sandwich (the seafood joys of living on an island!) followed by a beautifully ripe nectarine from the crop I picked in our greenhouse this morning, all washed down with a diet coke.

Rest assured you won't be having house guests in the form of Andy or myself!!

(Unless you change the menu that is, obviously if Meat arrives in the Channel Islands...

)

If you like seafood you'd love it here Zina ... we have some of the best in the world! Our homegrown fruit is good too ... nectarines and grapes in the greenhouse, apples and cherries outdoors ... though it's an annual battle between us and the birds as to who gets the cherries. The birds always win!

I LOVE seafood...grew in Russia where for some reason it used to be the cheapest food if it was available, of course...

I probably would have LOVED it there...sounds like Paradise...

You don't know what you're missing Lucy. You haven't lived till you've tasted fish really fresh from the sea.

We do eat meat as well!

Well, you never know ... Meat has been here before.

It's VERY unlikely he will ever set foot on our shores again but if he did you, Andy and a fair number of fans I can think of should have my home under siege!

Good to find someone with excellent taste!

Seafood isn't cheap here but luckily we have friends who go out fishing so we often get given mackeral, pollock and if we're really lucky sea bass.

Like everywhere it has its plus and minuses. It is a very beautiful island. If you've ever seen the cliffs in California between LA & San Fransisco, then that's exactly what our south coast looks like, so that's stunning. We also have one of the most beautiful harbours in the world. Like most islands the natives are extremely friendly and the crime rate is very low.

The main industry is finance. We have many of the world's leading merchant banks based here and the economy is strong.

The downside is the cost of living which is very high. Travel to and from the island can be very expensive. Worst of all are property prices which are through the roof. An average 3 bedroom house would set you back £350,000 ($700,000), so young couples trying to get their foot on the property ladder really have my sympathy!

It's the price you pay on a small island where land is at a premium.

Diane,

Thank you so very much for the description...sounds very good and, of course, I've never been in CA...yet...but I've been to England...go figure...

So...how's that addition coming up and when do I move in?

If you can get Meat to play a return concert in Guernsey I'll be more than happy to stock up with chicken and bacon!
