on Jersey island

Not!

Last week’s. column dealt with
the island of Jersey and most par-
ticularly with a guest house highly
tecommended by my daughter, I
mentioned that the owner was a
marvellous French chef, but {
didn’t mention his name.

This morning a reader called me.
She said that she was from Jersey
and that her mother had operated
a hotel there for many years. At
one point a young Frenchman ar-
rived from Normandy and was
employed as a chef in the hotel.

The chef was highly skilled and
incidently taught my caller
“everything I know about food.”

She raved that this man was
responsible for the best meals she
ever had, before or since.

Eventually, her mother sold the
hotel and it was torn down to
make room for another. The last
my cailer had heard, the chef even-
tually opened his own hotel.

Although my caller visits Jersey
regularly, she had got out of touch
with her old friend the chef. A few
weeks ago, she and her husband
began planning an upcoming visit
to Jersey and she mentioned to
him that she’d fove to try and find
the chef, for oid time’s sake.

So, a while later, my article on
Jersey caught her eye. A French

chef? Operating a guest house? It
couldn’t be — or could it?

There must be hundreds of guest
houses on Jersey, but it’s true —
Ashville Guest House is operated
by Louis Bougeard — her old
friend.

The same caller clarified that
mystery of the ‘‘std’’ in the tele-
phone number of Ashville G.H. —
it’s the area code and for anyone
wishing .to telephone from here,
direct, You would’ dial -011-44-
0534-33075 or 23824...

And, she had some nice words
of praise for the accuracy of all the
columns I’ve done on Jersey — so
much so that she’s clipped them
and is taking them with her to the
editor of the Jersey Weekly Post.
I'm very pleased because, as an
occasional visitor, it’s easy to
make slight mistakes that only a
native can pick up on.

Another reader called about
Jersey to tell me that there is one
of the world’s most famous orchid
gardens there — the Eric Young
Foundation in Trinity Village. It’s
open to the public and well worth
a visit.
