Alderney Harbour, Channel Islands

5.30am – The National Anthem. No. That’s just wrong.

Alderney is a Channel Island where it rains a lot. However the beer is good so we hit a couple of cosy snubs in St Annes and supped local ale. Back on the boat I cooked beans on toast, making it four days in a row that I’ve been chef. Not that I mind – I always said cooking on a boat would be part of the challenge, but I’m gonna run out of recipes soon, if you can count baked beans on toast a recipe. Which I do.
