I lived in Guernsey and worked at the hospital about 18 years ago. The drive from town towards the hospital was a well walked road for me. Thanks for the video, it brought back so many lovely memories. I love Guernsey.

It's a decent vet. They kept my friends kamikaze cat alive. He had a habit of diving in front of cars. Lots of pins in his joints but he's still alive and well.

Another great video. Peter Sellers also stay on Guernsey during the making of the film 'The Blockhouse' in 1977. He was staying at St Pierre in Fort George.

Happy memories from May 😂 sat at the bus stop outside the Iceland for the bus to take us to La Barbarie! The 81? So much more to see 😍

[@livinginguernsey]

Oh wow!

All French teachers in France know Guernsey because of Victor Hugo. Last time I went up on the island was in 2006. It was with my Best and oldest friend from hometown St.Brieuc ( Brittany) and for this nearly unique time the blue island Trislander took off from St Brieuc Armor and went via Jersey. Then we landed in Guernsey. We hired a fiesta automatic (!), model 4 doors, 2005, and I drove all around the Island. My friend Who already knew Jersey (!), told me , " what a natural, maritime island",.so close to Brittany !

Turn into the Houmet lane by the triangle With the post box , about 50 yards up on the left there's a red brick house, that's where Ollie Read used to live.👍

[@Taffhamster]

I seem to recall hearing that Oliver Reed liked to drink (and possibly dine) in The Absolute End on St George's Esplanade - this would have been in the 1970s-80s. (I think it's now a guest house.)

[@livinginguernsey]

Ah I didn’t know he used to go there. Thanks for the info🇬🇬👍

Strange, last night I thought I would search " Oliver reed", and found a link to Guernsey, and that would have been about two hours before a guernsey sunrise ( I am in the US)..About the same time as your drive. About 3 years ago, I " heard" Vera Lynn" in my head, singing, We'll Meet Again...so, I tubed that song...The next day I read she died at 10 pm London time, almost the same time I heard" the song...but, this is fairly normal for me. The " witch" burned in Guernsey, that gave birth during that tragedy( villagers threw the baby back into the fire) seems to be a relation, as is Mary Clarkson in Essex. Funny note: The Master Witch Hunter of Essex, Hopkins, commissioned Essex police to search for her. This is the letter the constable wrote back to Hopkins.. Dear Sir ( or similar) I have searched all Essex looking for the witch, Mary Clarkson, but she has apparently left the country. I have asked all relatives and friends, but some say they saw her off at Portsmouth for America. Most respectfully Constable Thomas CLARKSON

[@livinginguernsey]

Hi, that’s very interesting thank you for sharing all that. Have you lived in the US very long? Thanks Ross

Hoping the Weather cooperates on Oct. 1st. Regal Princess had to cancel the stop on Sept. 18th due to bad weather (unable to tender passengers due to rough seas). Our friends from Florida are onboard at this time and told us. It is what it is ! You can't fight mother nature. Hoping for the best.

[@livinginguernsey]

Fingers crossed!

[@sylviafleet6650]

My cousin used to hang out with Oliver reed, they were a couple of rebels

[@catherinewoods3132]

I was in that Iceland store when I was on Guernsey in June looking for a public bathroom. They sent me to the nearby doctor's office. WOW! BTW there's a geocache in the telephone booth you drove by.

[@Hasthegravy]

Yeah, supprisng how many geocaches are over here

[@pjnora2809]

I think Oliver Reed used to drink at The Jamaica too ?? My hubby used to work at The Victor Hugo restaurant ( st pierre park in the 80's), and Mr Reed came in to dine one evening. Another diner was looking over at him and so he started having a rant ( you know the type.....who the hell you looking at !), and wanting fisticuffs outside 😅 He certainly was a character. Omg....No more Bella Luce....but it was lovely , why on earth demolish it. What a shame . 😢

[@SteveCouch-c4f]

Hi...sorry cant remember the exact house he lived in but I did service his boiler many years ago.....i was there between 1986 - 1991

[@louisschiavo4834]

I knew Oliver well , he used to come over to Herm many times often helped him back with his mates to a boat 🍺🍺🤣, then in the early 80s used to meet him at his residence the Duke of Normandy for a drink or 2 , he holidayed in the mid 70s before moving to Guernsey , his best mate was a Guernsey man called Len ; drank in the Jamacia inn sorry for the miss spelling , they drank and did arm wrestling all the time 🤣.

[@livinginguernsey]

Wow that’s amazing 🤩 thank you so much for that 🇬🇬👍

[@louisschiavo8729]

[@paulcarroll4437]

Just been to Guernsey for three hours on a ship

[@fibosxpivots6238]

By the way, as an amateur astronomer, please can you tell me if on clear nights you can see faint stars and the Milky Way ? I,ve just bought in Lorient ( south Brittany), binoculars 15x70 mm. What images it offers on clear nights ! Price around 120 €.

[@paulcrawley390]

Hi Ross, Another great video, noticed you wasn't too far away from the Saints Bay Hotel.

[@livinginguernsey]

You are correct

[@jeffsmith3392]

A serious question. As an English man born and bred... if I moved to the Channel Islands would I be classed as a foreigner or is there no real difference legally.

[@Guernsey576]

Lots of people here were born on the mainland. It's all the British Isles so culturally no big differences.

[@Hasthegravy]

You wouldn't be a citizen and so would need a reason to move, weather that be work, family etc...

[@jeffsmith3392]

@@Hasthegravy but I don't need permission of any kind. Or visa or work permit. Just register on arrival.

[@Hasthegravy]

@jeffsmith3392 not sure

[@petergoubert457]

[@richardwoodthorpe5229]

[@kurtsteiner8384]

[@livinginguernsey]
