Time is precious – lock it up

I did a nice video of St Peter Port this afternoon but I’m having trouble uploading it si I’ll have to wait until I get home.

Today I went to Haute Capelles primary school, St Andrew’s primary school, and Vale junior school.

At Haute Capelles I spotted this clock in the gym. The bars on it made me think that time is precious in Guernsey and they like to keep it well protected. It certainly seems to move at a different pace here. They drive much faster, or that’s the way it seems, maybe it’s just the narrow roads that zip past at a faster pace.

Other things move at a slower pace than the mainland. I suspect they wait and see if things work in other places before they introduce them here. New ideas are like viruses, so you need to be sure they are benign before you introduce them into such a small community.
