Welcome to Herm

On Saturday 4th September 2010 Nigel Waylen married Lucie de Guerin.  Nigel first moved to Herm to be head chef at The Mermaid Tavern but is now head chef at The White House Hotel.  The couple met through their involvement with the Sea Cadets on Guernsey and chose to get married in St. Tugual’s Church on Herm.  Reverend Bellinger officiated at the ceremony.  The weather was beautiful and the sun shone for the happy couple.  They travelled in style down the hill from the church to the harbour with Mikey at the wheel of the tractor!

Whenever she can the ‘Goat Lady’ aka Jane, takes Sweet Pea and Honey Bun out for a walk.  The ‘boys’ are very well behaved and wherever Jane goes the goats go too!

BBC Guernsey’s mid-morning radio programme was broadcast live from the Herm Trident ferry on Friday 27th August.  Jim Cathcart, the presenter, boarded Herm Trident V at 9.30am just as his programme started and did a series of interviews with people on board travelling to and from Herm.  Whilst the boat was unloading he chatted to some Herm residents.  The 12.35 arrival on Herm was VERY busy with arrivals, mainly coming to stay at the campsite for the bank holiday weekend.  I managed to get a photo of White House Hotel head receptionist, Linda Gijsbertsen being interviewed by Jim.  Just before the interview started Linda had a surprise meeting with one of her ex-tutors from her college in Holland!  He had just arrived on Herm for a short visit and hadn’t been expecting to see Linda at Rosaire Steps!
