A little piece of paradise off the French coast called GB. With blue seas and Mediterranean plants its hard to imagine we're only 55mins flight from Gatwick.
Herm is beautiful. One side is low lying and covered in sand dunes, the other high clifftops with goat-like tracks.
Two very contrasting vista's, both of are which marvellous to walk.
The cliff edge walk did get hairy from time to time and required all our focus to stay on the path and not fall over the edge. Rough rock out cropped along the way making walking hazardous; inclines were narrow, steep and very uneven, steps treacherous but we made it.
The views were well worth it though.
How's this for a jail?
Yep, a jail for one! We all pondered as to what crime one had to commit to get in there. Murder? Not really enough people. Theft? Only one house and how would you get the stuff off the island anyway. Poaching? For what? Rabbits?
Pass. None of us could better drunken disorderly and afraid of facing the wife!
The plant life was exotic as expected.
It was clear the temperature had a controlled window with maximums of low 30°C to never below 0°C. All of what is shown here just grows in borders. At home, I would be putting all this into the greenhouse and when really cold, the livingroom!
