Back to Jersey again!

Love Jersey my family are there, but don’t go in the winter x

We have been to many places in Italy, but a few years ago we decided to have a relaxing seaside holiday. We found Lido di Jesolo and have returned there every year since. We go to the same hotel where we enjoy delicious food, and can fly direct from our local airport. These things are important as we get older, and the cost of holidays rises.

I’ve never been to Jersey but would like to visit Guernsey as our family surname is from there. I would like to see if it’s quite common over there . It’s not common here, if you say you know someone of the same surname they are probably related to us 😂.

I'm like that with the Isle of Wight, love going back

Literally booked a trip back to beautiful Jersey & a first time to Guernsey/Sark this week!

Quite a few Channel Islands fans on Gransnet!

Why not check out social media? Or, you could try Google? There are special GSY surnames which are peculiar to the GSY population and they go back hundreds of years. You could also contact the Guernsey Museum at Candie Gardens.

Not boring at all, Jersey ticks every box on that list. If you haven’t yet, walk the north coast cliff path from Greve de Lecq towards Devil’s Hole, then a crab sandwich at the Hungry Man kiosk at Rozel Bay. Mont Orgueil at Gorey is lovely late afternoon when the tide’s in. FWIW a free planner like Wanderlog pins it all on one map so you can do a corner of the island each day. Book the farm suppers Sago mentioned early, they fill up

We feel the same about Menorca. We fly from a small local airport (Bournemouth), park the car and walk a few steps to departure lounge. First flight of the morning, arrive in Menorca, taxi and 15 minutes to hotel. The hotel staff are wonderful and greet us like long last family. Sounds cheesy, but we love it.

It's not exotic or exciting but we enjoyed our visit two years ago and, despite various more exotic holidays, we found we'd enjoyed it most. Just booked for next year.
Anyone quite happy to be seen as boring?

It makes you happy - good for you.👏👏👏

I spent my honeymoon on Jersey in 1958. It was all we could afford but we found it really lovely. I wonder if it's changed much. I'd love to go back.
