LÉ VIAER MARCHI - LEUDI PASSAÏ - LAST MONDAY

Au Viaer Marchi lé maonde jouissit du bouan, biau temps;
À notr'étâle, lé Guernesiais en d'vant nou mit,
en baïllànt des fieillets et en dvisànt ès gens,
Pour mourtaï qu'i vaout raide, et pour dé saeur, qu'i vit 😊🇬🇬!

At Lé Viaer Marchi everyone enjoyed good, fine weather;
At out stand we promoted Guernesiais,
handing out leaflets and speaking to people,
To show that it's really important, and it certainly lives on😊🇬🇬

WARRO! The Priaulx Library will be open to visitors and researchers tomorrow, Saturday 6 June. In addition to our facilities for researching family history and local Guernsey culture and heritage, we have a special display about local Guernésiais poet, Denys Corbet, who was born 200 years ago. We've focused on a poem about the Déhus dolmen, near to where he was born in the Vale, and the legendary 'Mermaids of Petit Bot', a story told to Denys by local man Matthew Tostevin in the 1860s. We've created a new Word Search for children all about the Mermaids - it's in Guernsey French, lots of fun and comes with a sticker when you have completed it! There is free parking on site for visitors
