🎃 It’s pumpkin picking season! I visited Le Hechet Farm in @Islands of Guernsey for a little autumn outing. You can visit until Halloween to find your perfect pumpkin, say hello to the farm animals, hop on a tractor for a photo and browse the farm’s own produce. There’s homemade ice cream to try too - it was sooo creamy! 🎃 Who’s going pumpkin picking this year? #pumpkinfarm #visitguernsey #guernseylife #guernsey #pumpkinpicking @wearelotus

🫒 There’s so much more to olive oil than a drizzle on your plate. This is oleotourism: discovering the places, flavours and traditions behind every drop. / a d Jaén in Andalucía is known as the world capital of olive oil. There, we tasted olive oils, enjoyed meals that let this beautiful ingredient shine, and wandered through centuries-old groves. Then we hopped on bikes, cycling through seemingly endless rows of olive trees. And with more than 66 million trees in this one province (more than the population of Spain), it’s no wonder the landscape feels never-ending! A slower way to explore, with plenty to savour along the way. 🫒 Would you plan a trip around olive oil? @visitSpain @Vive Andalucía #Oleotourism #Jaen #OliveOilTasting #FoodTravels #VisitAndalucia

Let’s talk about the food in Guernsey, because it deserves a little time in the spotlight. / a d What I loved most was seeing the local story behind the plate. From farms and fishing boats to seaweed along the shoreline and apple orchards, there’s a real connection between the island and what ends up on your table. And it’s not just about seafood. I ate Italian, Japanese, Chinese and modern dishes, with wonderful local produce shining through. Plenty of reasons to plan your next meal before you’ve finished the last one. Visiting in shoulder season? Every April and October, The Big Eat Food Festival celebrates producers and chefs across the island’s restaurants. We got a taste of the sea at The Dax in The Duke Hotel, sharing the ‘Get Shucked’ coastal platters. Exactly my kind of afternoon.
