Nice intro to Jersey, Chris! Didn’t catch the description of “beetroot” coffee…Hope your novel is going well; seems like a well-chosen challenge for a great nonfiction writer.

Thanks Susan! The beetroot coffee was actually from a steamed beetroot with frothy milk! Warm, milk, and sweet yet slightly earthy.

Jersey and Guernsey are definitely on my list. Thanks for sharing about such a calm and beautiful place!

Oh how interesting! I am exploring this lifestyle (in the US now) and happened upon you. Looking forward to reading all your posts now. :-)

Love this. Now I want I to go! How did you get there? Boat I assume?

Easy flight from most London airports

This is beautifully written. I like the sound of it except the 50 degree bathing. 75 degrees is more to my liking.

But drinking Jersey milk would be lovely... shops treat cream like poison nowadays, but there is nothing like some creamy Jersey milk.

I like the way you have presented your captions too. I'll have to see if I can do the same for my captions. At present they could be taken for part of the story.

Thanks so much Ian. Nothing like some good cream!

Such an interesting and engaging perspective on Jersey! That location hasn't been on my radar but it is now, especially knowing it's outside of Schengen. Thanks Chris!

I hope the two of you can make it. A ferry trip over to Guernsey must be on the list when you go.
