The restaurants here naturally have good fish menus, so those of you who like hanging about at kitchen doors looking appealing will also enjoy a good fish supper. If you prefer to hunt for yourself, the beaches have many rock pools where small fish get stranded as the tide goes out. All you need are a sharp eye and a fast paw. The islanders grow a great deal of fresh fruit, vegetables and flowers. They don't use a lot of pesticides, preferring the old tried and true methods of growing.
Small holdings are very common, and many people have their own greenhouses.
Naturally, cats are very welcome, keeping mice, rabbits and birds from the crops. A morning spent hunting in the greenhouse or fields, followed by an afternoon sunning yourself in your favourite spot. For dairy lovers we have another treat. Guernsey cows produce a very rich, creamy milk, which in turn makes a lovely thick yellow cream. There's nothing like it anywhere else.
