You can find their podcasts by clicking <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/101173651428/" rel="nofollow">HERE</a> and having a rootle around. They were quite excellent!Alan Slomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17966543499033330765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22496677.post-31713655104800744752011-09-04T09:49:27.889+01:002011-09-04T09:49:27.889+01:00Looks lovely.

From what I remember it was beautiful. <br /><br />You should visit the Isles of Scilly as well, which is like a smaller, undeveloped Channel Isles.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22496677.post-77503956781804055912011-09-04T00:54:25.156+01:002011-09-04T00:54:25.156+01:00Hi WW: That's a generation ago, you know. I th...Hi WW: That's a generation ago, you know. I think that you will find that Jersey has changed. <br /><br />It has really spruced itself up: The old Pontins Holiday Camp fell apart around that time as tourism changed - everyone ran off to Torremolinos to drink their Watney's Red Barrel and slap Timothy White's suntan oil on their purulent white flesh.... (ooh - I've caught a nasty dose of Python) <br /><br />Now it's a vibrant, friendly good quality destination for nature lovers and lovers of a quiet peaceful time. (With a few great pubs thrown in, but we'll get to them later!)Alan Slomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17966543499033330765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22496677.post-63691697127550141742011-09-03T22:56:28.168+01:002011-09-03T22:56:28.168+01:00Your account makes me want to visit again!
