Time passes very quickly when you live from quarter to quarter. Given the work load he has not only taken on board, but also increased by his very manifest community involvement, it will come as no surprise that a combination of regret at his decision and gratitude for his achievements take up a noticeable part of this edition of Les Nouvelles. P 22 But I haven’t forgotten the necessity to maintain plenty of general interest to read, and so you will discover that having, in earlier issues, looked at our two harbours, we Bouonne have moved on to passage graves in which I have been well briefed by Olga Finch the santé Curator of Archaeology for Jersey Heritage. Our first visit was to Faldouet and, with Olga’s insight, what I had long seen as a dead pile of stones was bought very much to life. I am also sharing with you some wonderful photographs of rather gracious living over one hundred years ago on the furthest outpost of our Parish, Les Ecrehous. There is also news of a beautiful work far produced ay EYECAN, and a look back of aspects of the history of drinking in St Martin. P30 Les Écréhous A quick flag up for the next (late May, early June) issue which sees the start of an in quieter times occasional series on Normandy beyond the places we see on a day-trip; something for the weekend away perhaps? We will look at the joy of mushrooms with a Michelin-starred chef who I have described as “the mushroom king”. You might try ordering your meal with him in Jèrriais and you can brush up your ability to understand it by always reading the dual language article by David Marett. It could be useful when travelling; my wife, who learnt to speak Norman patois as a child, has no problems understanding our traditional Island language. Long may it continue to survive, and with luck, spread out. Finally I have grouped together some stories and pictures under a “Parish News” headline and my thanks once again to the indefatigable Michel Le Troquer for filling most of that section. Meanwhile, for those thinking of standing for the States in May, there is a helpful guide on sounding good while saying nothing of moment in our re gular Pick ‘n’ Mix feature. P40 Michel Le Troquer As this magazine is going to Print Kay Laverty and her team are hard at work preparing for the Britain in Bloom competition; a report on what they have achieved will appear in the next issue. Best of luck to them and, as it’s too late to say Happy New Year, I will resort to French; so, Bonne Continuation.
