Finally I get to do some of the work. I can’t say that I did my share, but this weekend we got out and swept off the steps to the south side of Moulin Huet, well, most of them anyway. My wonderful hubby, the intrepid Eric, has done so many steps on his own, as I have often been working, or not well or away, but I was able to feel I had made a reasonable contribution this weekend

We headed down to Moulin Huet in the misty grey conditions, but at least it wasn’t wet – we had been about to go down on Saturday evening, but it started to rain, and it is no good trying to do this stuff when it is wet. As the morning wore on the sun came out, and it was beautiful, bringing out lots of people walking their dogs, running, and heading to the beach down below. We spoke to visitors and locals, and we had some donations for Autism365 too, which is one reason why we are doing this, the other being that it is a useful thing for the community. It is good to talk to people coming by, and we can even be of help with directions and advice on distances too – Eric knows these cliffs so very well now, with his walks for the charity as well as with Club Bons Amis and just for his own pleasure. The colour of the sea was spectacular, and there were several people on their way to enjoy what the beach has to offer – such a beautiful piece of the south coast, and always popular.

We did most of the steps, but I ran out of steam eventually, so there were a few which didn’t get done, but not many. I didn’t feel too badly about it, as the walk back up the very steep hill past the cafe was still ahead of us. I’m afraid I find it quite a challenge – needless to say our weekly walker sailed up without seeming to breathe heavily, but then, he does tramp up and down the cliff steps from St. Peter Port to Pleinmont on a very regular basis!
