Greve de Lecq Barracks, St. Mary, Jersey

It was Saturday morning, February 26, 2012. We are scheduled to go out with Bob- a member of the Commonwealth royal society of Jersey & a very close friend of DESMAN. The scheduled time is 9:40am but the weather is very foggy, its 200 meters visibility. So we moved our schedule to 11:00 am. Luckily, the weather gets better and the fogs is not that thick anymore. We went to many places, then at lunch the Bob treat us in Collen's restaurant at Greve de Lecq Barracks at St. Mary.

This is the view heading towards the Greve de Lecq Barracks.


I choose these very delicious Gamon steak with egg served with chips and salads at 8.45 pounds. Its really expensive, anyway its Bobs treat. This actually ham with egg on top.

And this Bob, 92 years old but very strong and drive us around the island of Jersey. He used to be a history teacher, so when you talk to him you got a load of history. Then I ask him "What is the secret of long life? he answered that every time he receives the Jersey post, he looks at the list of persons who died and if he cant find his name on it, he still got another 24 hours to live. My second question was "What lesson you want to leave to the new generations? He answered a lesson for all generations should live, that is a concern for other people. You must treat other people as how you want to be treated. And then I said thank you Bob.

This is the Collens Restaurant, just in front the coast.
