We crossed the water in our dinghy and jumped ashore. The breaking waves forced the large pebbles to tumble over each other and then back again grinding each one into a smooth round shape.

The steep path zigzags up the side of the cliff and a seat at the top provided a welcoming place to sit and look out to sea towards France. Phew!

The island is criss-crossed with wide lanes and occasionally a horse and carriage or tractor would appear around the corner. No cars are allowed to drive here.

The gardens on Sark are famous because they are so beautiful. Flowers, fruit trees and vegetables are grown within a walled garden. The gardeners worked constantly to keep the weeds out and everything was watered.

After looking at the flowers in the garden, we had a rest and a cup of tea.

Back on board we ate some pasta and savoury mince. We had a lovely day on the island.
