1. Great video. I lived and worked in Jersey from 1970 to '74 and my last trip there was in the mid 80's; it looks as though the place has been completely rebuilt. The only shop I recognized in King Street was "Voisin", the department store. It also looks a bit "run down" with all the empty and boarded-up shops. Pity about the dreary weather as my recollections are mainly blue skies and sunshine, even in winter.

2. This video was brilliant?. We have visited Jersey every year since 2012 and love it. We learned so much from you too. By the way, hens and chickens live on premises on Elizabeth Castle island, near the cafe! Shame it wasn't open when you visited

3. Had no idea this place existed. My last name is saint hilaire . Very similar!!

4. Very informative, great video thanks! Originally from Guernsey I have been to Jersey a few times, but ages ago. Perhaps Im biased – but I think St. Peterr Port is by far prettier than St. Helier.

5. You need to come back in the summer when Jersey is at its best and get out of town and head west (it’s the best) lol

6. If you ever get to New Zealand you will see the kelp there too. It is a great fertilizer for veggie gardens. My Dad used to go and collect sacks of it for his garden. Lots of jersey cows in NZ too. In NZ we called our sweaters Jerseys. But never realised the name came from the Island. Thank you Willie for the history talk on the Island of Jersey. Kiwi from Virginia

7. What hotel was this?

8. Nice. I’ve lived in Jersey all my life and learnt a couple things I never even knew! I’ve never in my whole life seen a wild chicken either.

   Hopefully you got to explore all the island. Much more beautiful areas than St Helier.

9. Great tour!

10. Welcome back Monsieur ??? another beautiful journey to witness with you ??

11. Great video as usual ??

12. Great vlog Willie and I'm pleased you enjoyed your visit. Just FYI the mural near the steam clock was created by Gabriel Pitcher and is called The ‘Home’ mural. It is a celebration of Jersey’s immigrant communities’ contribution to Island life, and the modern, multicultural place that we all call home. ?

    The holes in the sand on the way to the castle were made by Razorfish!

13. What a funny chicken, I love it ?

14. The seaweed on the beaches, locally called vraic … pronounced without the ‘v’, is more a bladder type, than kelp, though there will be some kelp mixed in.

    In the past it was used a lot to fertilise the potato fields, but artificial fertiliser has taken over. The one time we did try and use it again we were stopped pretty quickly by the road safety brigade/ local police.., Vraic and water … slippery stuff, difficult to keep it all trapped in a trailer with mesh sides to drain the water out. Added to the difficulty of keeping trailers fully roadworthy to modern standards … brakes, working electrics etc, even for driving ½ mile up the road, made the whole thing just far to impractical and expensive. So we did not carry on. Older days people would not have been so worried by a few bits dropped on the road, but nowadays, just considered far too dangerous

15. Excellently researched again Willie. It never even occurred to me that Jersey gave its name to knitted jumpers. Weird how Americans use it for t-shirts now (eg 'soccer jersey'). They even say it in Spain (spelt the same but pronounced 'hair-say')
    New Jersey fact was very interesting as well.
    I used to stay on the island a lot when I worked for British Airways, we used to stay at the Radisson Blu Hotel and I always used to get a bike out and tour the island. Favourite part was Portelet Bay.
    Good to see you've carried on your series of UK overseas territories, look forward to seeing Guernsey. Cheers and sorry I waffled a bit ?

16. 5% of the population here in jersey are ?? South African just in case you didn’t know

17. Lol ? my granddaughter Leah and her friend Maddox are in your video.

18. Brilliant, your tour has been more informative than anything the local Tourism board has done in the last 5 years. They could learn something from you.

19. Throughly enjoyed your blog. Lived in Jersey ?? for ten years in the 90s & 00s & also met my wife there. I return there as often as I can. Lovely island.

20. What
    was hotel called ?

21. Seems like a great place to visit! Thanks for the informative video, WillieExplore!

22. Thank you for your video Willie! I lived and worked in St Helier in 2007 to 2008. This brought back so many memories. I love Jersey. It’s a beautiful island and I’ve been back a few times for holidays. I learnt lots from your video about the history. Very interesting. And the chicken ? did make me laugh! ? Thanks again.

23. Knitting was a necessity not a leisure activity.
    Jersey Heritage would be a great place for you to be information from as these people are professional historians and researchers

24. Brilliant video on this one as show within the range of different styles of places that you could explore further I enjoyed your experience showing viewers with your experience personal view especially own opinion Willie one more question please as Scotland wants independence would Scotland be accepted or better as crown dependence country as these are crown dependence country connection to the crown as royalty thanks for your time especially considering making these videos useful for us to watch.

25. "Monsieur" !! nice video as always !

26. Oh wow I didn’t know that about the knitting pattern in their jerseys wow ? I feel like I learn something new every day ahah beautiful views ? thank you for sharing your travels are always so fun ! ?

27. Great video, Jersey's a lovely island. Glad to hear that you're going to Guernsey too though, one of my favourite places in the whole world (well…of the parts of the world that I've seen, anyway)! ?
