Today I checked out my stats to see where I am welcoming visitors from on my Blog. I expected more of the same Huntingtown, Annapolis, DC etc., but today I saw an area named Guernsey. "Guernsey?" I thought to myself.... hmmmm. So I had a little geography lesson this cold morning. I wonder what brought Guernsey to me - perhaps they wanted to learn how to play "Tickle the Children". Well, hello Guernsey!
The Bailiwick of Guernsey (pronounced /ˈɡɝːnzi/; French: Bailliage de Guernesey) is a British Crown dependency in the English Channel off the coast of Normandy.
As well as the island of Guernsey itself, it also includes Alderney, Sark, Herm, Jethou, Brecqhou, Burhou, Lihou and other islets. Although the defence of all these islands is the responsibility of the United Kingdom, Guernsey is not part of the UK but rather a separate possession of the Crown, comparable to the Isle of Man. Guernsey is also not part of the European Union. The island of Guernsey is divided into 10 parishes. Together with the Bailiwick of Jersey, it is included in the collective grouping known as the Channel Islands. Guernsey belongs to the Common Travel Area.
