#Jersey channel islands

Jersey, my home, just went through a really nasty storm (really nasty for us, we don't usually get this type of weather), and a tornado. Trees are down, power is out for loads of people. Roofs were ripped off and walls were torn apart. My sister had a tile smash through her bedroom window, and if she been in bed it would have killed her.

It's been a tiring 24 hours but I'm really proud of the emergency services. Things could have been so much worse but it was handled with so much care and thoughtful planning.

As far as I know there haven't been any casualties and I hope it stays that way.

Jersey in a nutshell. Proud tourism and then a seagull intruder. 😂

#spark talks about nothing of relevance #jersey #jersey channel islands #channel islands #i know seagulls are a part of our natural ecosystem but let me tell you #they are VICIOUS BASTARDS over here #they're very territorial and defensive #also there's a story about us deporting a problem seagull that just flew back here anyways lmfao

Estelle Egglishaw

1939 — 2022

I am very saddened to note the passing of Estelle Egglishaw (née Bisson), of St. Brelade, Bailiwick of Jersey, on May 26.

When I met Estelle in 2015, she was assisting visiting family researchers at the Jersey Archives on Clarence Road in St. Helier. Through her helping me with my research, I learned that she had known my Great Uncle Harold Brideaux.

More importantly, I learned that she was one of Jersey’s greatest treasures. She was one of the diminishing numbers of original Jèrriais speakers of Jersey—the original Norman dialect of the island’s people. I am not surprised that the Channel Islands Family History Society honoured her with a lifetime membership.

Estelle was an expert on the nuances and idiomatic colour of Jèrriais, which is challenging to meaningfully transmit to many of those who attempt to learn the language today. She loved the work of the Jersey artist and lithographer, Edmund Blampied, whose art she believed embodied the life and culture of Jèrriais. And she was a walking encyclopedia (Jerripedia, really) of Jersey history and culture. She was also an expert florist, who provided floral arrangements for royal visits to Jersey.

Had she warned me I was going to be the recipient of so much information when she invited me to dinner a year later, I would have bought my recorder to the table, manners be damned. During that same visit, it was Estelle who made use of her social connections to help me find the remains of L’Amiral, a Brideaux homestead for over a century in St. Ouen Parish, and the nearby Les Vaux Brideaux fields.

Jersey is impoverished by her passing but made all the richer by her legacy.
