Romans at La Hougue Bie

A very enjoyable few hours spent exploring La Hougue Bie with the family.  We also found out about the Romans with a special event put on by Jersey Heritage with re-enactments by visiting group Vicus from the UK.

Medieval Merriment at Mont Orgueil

A lovely way to find out about how we used to live in the 15th century, especially on an overcast day like this one.  History coming to life by enjoying the re-enactments from the local group "Medieval Companie of the Duke's Leopards".  More info at Mont Orgueil.
