Hey, that's my book you're talking about! The Channel Islands are much closer to France than to England. That's why Churchill demilitarized them and gave them up for occupation after the fall of France.
I have made two trips to Jersey. I had a lot of good, reasonably priced food, though I didn't have Jersey butter or eat a Jersey wonder (a donut trying hard to be a potato). There is/was a wonderful Portuguese restaurant on Bath Street where I dined on both trips.
Get well soon, RM!
