Five positive posts to round off the week

Sunday 26 April 2020

To round off your week with a smile, Express is bringing you some more feel-good stories in a round-up of positive social media posts from across the island.

Here are some of the posts that brightened our days...

1. Following the book fairy 

Self-confessed 'book hoarder', Grace Garnier, received a note from two young islanders who picked up books from her roadside book stall in Grouville.

2. Royal VIPs 

A sack of Jersey Royal potatoes received first class treatment on this trip to Portsmouth, as export season gets underway. 

It's @JerseyRoyalCo season, and @Condor_Ferries are working hard to ensure these Very Important Potatoes are being shipped through Portsmouth in plentiful supply. 
When the chips are down, it's a-peeling to know critical roots are still running. ???? https://t.co/NKt1bL7JC3 pic.twitter.com/WKYZxMHwWo

3. Singing celebration

Local music teacher and composer, Rebecca Lawrence, collated hundreds of photos from islanders to create a video showing life in Jersey this month. 

4. Piece of the puzzle 

Thomas Norman, a Jersey-based illustrator, has the answer to your next lockdown activity. 

5. Cannon for carers 

Jersey Heritage is firing a cannon at Elizabeth Castle every Thursday to support Clap for our carers.  

If you hear cannon fire at 8pm tonight, don’t worry! We're not under attack! The Master Gunner at #ElizabethCastle is going to fire the cannon every Thurs to signal our support for #ClapforourCarers and the Island in general during the current crisis. #jerseyci #communityspirit pic.twitter.com/gG4mMp53YE
