Pete in Guernsey

[skyring]

Just a quick note. I'm using an internet terminal in the Guill-Alles Library in St Peter Port in Guernsey. I'm meeting Jenny Kendall-Tobias for coffee in a few minutes.

I have had an absolutely amazing time this morning, being a guest on Jenny's show for three hours, having lunch with her, walking around the centre of town with a visiting scholar on Roman antquities, and I'm invited to her rehearsal tonight for a dance routine.

She is just as much fun in real life as on the radio. It was great to hear my BookCrossing buddies listening in - thanks one and all!

And I've got a fresh stock of BBC Radio Guernsey stickers and heheheheheh, a mug in Guernsey French!

Off tomorrow for Jersey airport, where I'm hoping I can get some Internet.

Enjoyed listening to you chat with JKT. Hope I didn't put you too much on the spot with the e-mail about the Monopoly releases!

Hi Pete, great to learn about your travels! Is there a link to where we could hear you on the show?? Keep at it! =)

I listened in for as long as possible, it started to get nearer midnight over here.
I sent Jenny an email to say hi to you, hope she at least read it to you.
You sounded like you had a great time. :o)

She acknowledged you at the end of the show, when she mentioned various BCers who had sent e-mails.

She was reading out the emails, some of them in the "downtime" during songs. She was glad to get the attention!

I had a great time with her - she is every bit as much a darling in real life as on the air!

If you are quick, you can go to the "Listen Again" link for Studio One. Thanks for the email, Rars - she was chuffed to know that Dunedin was listening in.

Which I'm wearing my Dunedin convention T-shirt as I grab some internet before flying out to Jersey.
