Four generations of my family, at least were born and lived there. My father left for the UK and returned many times. My parents lived their last years togther in Grouville. My mother in still on the island. I visit as often as I can, sdaly working out at once a year these days, I've been there probably every year of my life - I'm 65 and want to go back. Thanks for this reminder of the quiet days :-)
Jersey has its own government called the bailiwick of Jersey and like Guernsey and the isle of man is a crown dependency not officially part of the UK.
I was just writing a comment about how disconcerting it is to watch this with no sound when background sounds finally kicked in at 4:00. Some commentary about Jersey would improve this video 100%. I've never been to Jersey and wanted to know whether it was worth visiting. Guess I must go to another site and read up about it rather.
@@dinahquillen9380 perhaps whoever made this video it was their first time, but I found some other spectacular videos about Jersey with and without sound.
The island where my lovely grandma was born. Her father was Portugese. Although he was 60 and already in some ill health, it is thought that his death by drinking bleach was to avoid the potential that, as a family, they'd be classified as non-natives by the Germans. My kind grandad was one of the liberation soldiers. They moved to England where my grandad worked for British Steel and also as a special constable. My grandma always said that people in England couldn't understand her accent sometimes. She said she once asked for a 'jam and cream sponge' and was told 'sorry, we don't stock German cream sponges'. Apparently, her identification papers ended up in a museum there, born Beryl Ada De Castro, since Beryl Scrivener. None of my grandparents are alive now. No offence but this doesn't look like the place she lived until about the age of 20. Tax havens and short wearers and sedateness was not her style. Places like this are hugely about what people are living there now. She almost certainly had more in common with her neighbours in England.

@Joanne Saltfleet
I wish it was part of the U.K.
I REALLY WISH TO VISIT THE COUNTRY. CAN YOU BE FRIEND TO ME SO I CAN ASK MORE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE COUNTRY PLS?
@@geraldjeff862 what do you want to know?
When you reached the rocks at the end of the Bay of St Brelades and showed the stripes tower, that was in fact Ouasnie bay!
Ouaisne Bay, even.

Without the commentary it looks like a beautiful place to visit.
