The subtle blue, pink and grey stone Norman arches are a joy.
Their post boxes are blue and being on a steep hillside St Peter Port is full of alleys and steps as this one... ...and some larger 'civic' spaces full of cafés and charity stalls. Round the other side of the island is a pretty little ancient church on a steep mound which we have passed every time we've been to Guernsey, just asking to be sketched. Quite difficult as the sides of the tower angle inwards, the 'spire' is octagonal and the roof pitches vary. A deal of 'measuring' and time. I think it's close to accurate. Proof if any needed that one doesn't see a thing properly until you draw it.
