Sunday 26th July I will be on BBC Guernsey and BBC Jersey after the news at 11am. This month I will be talking to Jim Delbridge about the history of lighthouses in the Channel Islands. As usual I will manage to shoehorn some German Occupation related facts in amongst the other history!
Another 5 star review for my book “Tides of Defiance”. Thanks to everyone who has provided feedback on the book. 🙏. If you want a copy it is available from Writer's Block Guernsey , Amazon or Barnthorn. Loving the feedback, and have even found a few more relatives of those that escaped!

Judd Legum@juddlegum.bsky.social · last mo.1. Since December, CNN and CNBC have promoted Kalshi to viewers extensively, frequently vouching for its accuracy. The existence of a financial relationship between the networks and Kalshi, however, is disclosed to viewers inconsistently. w/@atrupar.com
Busy old day! Recorded the first of two episodes of Islands At War August 1944 podcast, edited it, wrote a pitch for a history project I have been invited to be involved in, wrote an article, gym, walk, and spent a quality few hours chatting to Sally. All in all a cracking day to end the weekend.
Another lovely review for my book “Tides of Defiance” 🙏 thank you. Available on Amazon wherever you are or from @barnthorn.bsky.social .

It’s all been rather lovely. Thanks to all involved today.
Another email received about my book “Tides of Defiance”. This time from a reader in Canada with Guernsey connections. Available from Amazon wherever you are in the world. amzn.eu/d/0j28TEp6
Messages like this make all the years of research and effort that went into writing “Tides of Defiance” worthwhile. I love receiving feedback on the book particularly when it involves people reading about members of their family that escaped from the Channel Islands during the German Occupation.
Latest 5 star review is in for my book. 🙏. If you enjoyed it please leave a review. Book available from Amazon, Barnthorn or Writer’s Block.

It is going to be a scorcher! Looking forward to beach and fish and chips after work. Have a great day folks.
Absent friends! Thanks for your friendship gentlemen. Gone but not forgotten.
Thinking of two old school friends who are sadly no longer with us. Today would have been their birthdays. I shall raise a glass to you this evening gentlemen.
Monday morning mooch. This week is looking like it is going to be a good one. Have a good week folks.
If you have enjoyed the book please do what Andrew has done and rate it on Amazon and give it a review. 🙏
Andrew Manning@andrewmanning.bsky.social · 2mo agoI’m not far off finishing it? Really good. I’ve put a five star review on Amazon 🙂
Rather chuffed with the latest reviews of my book. 🙏 available from Amazon.
For those that accuse us in the Channel Islands of not pulling our weight during the two world wars some sobering stats. Especially if you consider total population 1914 was 92,000, Total population and circa 93,000 in 1939. So 13.5% and 11.2%. Quite a voluntary contribution.
I will be on @BBCGuernsey and @BBCJersey tomorrow morning just after 11am talking about my book. It is available from @writersblockgsy @barnthorn or Amazon. Find out about those that risked all to escape the Channel Islands during the German Occupation.
