This weekend is Trooping the Colour and this coming week is National Picnic Week. The good weather is encouraging more of us to enjoy the great outdoors so have a look at our events listings.

If you had a fear of flying would a Navigator Buddy help to soothe you? Just one thought that Adrian has this week as the winner of the Family Friendly Museum award is announced.

Dwarves, Chagall, the popularity of the Mexican resort of Puetra Vallarta and WWI are some of the things that attracted Adrian’s attention this week.

I have even thought of an advertsing slogan for the island. “Guernsey – the overseas destination that is just like home.”

This Easter there are many visitor atractions re-opening as well as Tate St Ives, the new Museum of Iron at Ironbridge and Guernsey’s Little Chapel. Whatever you are doing, enjoy yourselves.

Queues, a new rail service and the reopening of airlinks to Sharm El-Sheikh from Germany are some of Adrian’s thoughts this week.

It’s Easter, the weather is changeable and many are out-and about. For those who have decent weather, look in the events’ column for ideas. For those who haven’t here are some thoughts from this week’s tourism coverage..

A new children’s play area at Alicante airport, Piers Morgan giving the travel industry a hard time and how can someone on £15,000 afford three holidays a year? It’s all part of Adrian’s catch-up of the week.

Grayson Perry, those ceramic poppies that caused such interest last year and an inability to take a day’s holiday – amongst other things – tax Adrian’s thoughts this week

Street painting, scarec rows and the atrocity in Sousse are some of the thoughts occupying Adrian this week.

This year, the Channel Islands, the only part of the British Isles that was captured by the Germans during WWII, celebrates its liberation.

From Jet 2 to Jakarta and Bahrain to Brighton, Adrian rounds off some of the week’s travel stories you might have missed.

For some reason – maybe to forget the rain of yesterday and today – Adrian seems to have concentrated on warm places with spectacular beaches like Antigua, the British Virgin Islands and the Isle of Wight!

You might have an opinion that Guernsey is genteel and that it is an island that attracts mature holidaymakers. And that is what some people would like you to believe.
