‘I wanted to introduce readers to the ship and the men who served on her’ (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Having already penned almost a dozen books about various aspects of Channel Islands history – many of them commissioned – Jersey historian Ian Ronayne has now written an account of the tragic sinking of HMS Charybdis, along with HMS Limbourne, in 1943. ‘I’ve always been interested in military history and broadly aware of the story of HMS Charybdis and the graves to be found in Jersey and Guernsey. But to be honest, not as many people in Jersey are aware of the story as you’ll find in Guernsey wh
VEF’s golden anniversary is a pearler (opens the original)
Read excerpt
So there we were, my wife and I, upstairs on the left at the Kosy (as we still call The Albion) – having obtained our wristbands in the little bar downstairs where the bar-billiard table and the cigarette vending machine used to be – waiting to be entertained at the 50th anniversary Vale Earth Fair.

Read excerpt

The month began with States Water Board president Roger Berry revealing that plans were in place to drill States-owned boreholes fully eight times the diameter of domestic ones. The following day we r
‘One giant mutual support network of runners great and small’ (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It was a simple enough message which I chose to convey, as I hauled my bike out of the bike rack at North Beach and turned around to speak to the couple who were retrieving theirs. We’d just come back on the 10pm boat from Herm, full of beer and merriment after celebrating the completion of the seventh and final race of the All Terrain Challenge – an event marking its 30th year. I just wanted to thank them for all their positivity and encouragement, which they had shown to me and all the other r
