States of Guernsey Cribs: The Sequel

Friday 24 April 2020

We weren't planning to do a sequel to last week's Cribs. However, so many Deputies were eager to showcase their homes and style tips that our hands were forced.

Several States members who missed out last week, due to technical problems or because they just didn't make the cut, stepped up to the plate this time around.

Here are the best ones we saw, starting with one of the stars from the original, which can be read HERE.

After we mentioned Rob Prow’s numerous light fittings last week, he decided to raise his game. One suspects the rainbow-holding soft toy has been placed there mainly for our benefit. Good job, Rob.

Dawn Tindall likes this colour scheme. I’m sure I’ve seen her wearing a jacket the same shade as her wallpaper.

Feeling blue, Victoria Oliver?

Maybe a game with Carl Meerveld’s trains will cheer you up?

Or perhaps, like Sarah Hansmann Rouxel, you just want to get away from it all, soak up the sun somewhere tropical in the company of a cocktail or two?

This is my trump card. If this picture of Barry Paint in his beanie hat doesn’t cheer you up, you have a heart made of stone.

It certainly cheered up Andrea Dudley-Owen, who afforded herself a hearty chuckle.

Lindsay de Sausmarez was also in good spirits. Maybe things are all white after all?

They seek him here. They seek him there. In between missing votes due to technical affairs, we found John Gollop on a garden bench enjoying a breath of fresh air.

Back to that all too familiar question. Where’s Rhian? Last week she was high up in the mountains, this week in what appears to be the top floor of a high rise building?

Some of the conversation in the States can sound like locker room chat at times, but that was no need for Sarah to go and sit in an actual locker room.

I’m calling this one the Barry Brehaut death ray. Was it a trick of the light or is he about to disintegrate the L’Ancresse wall with his eyes? (Sorry Barry)

 Lester Queripel is an enigmatic man with a suitably enigmatic home office.

“I’m not sleeping Sir, I’m just resting my eyes…”

Don’t worry Gavin, you have been very busy after all. If I were Sir Richard, I would have read one of those books just to take my mind off the Orwellian nightmare that was this week’s States debate.
