Eventually the French took Normandy but the Channel Islanders stayed loyal to the line of their Duke and stayed British. So loyal are they, that the Queen is recognised only as the Duke to this day. Food, Glorious Food. Feline residents of these fair islands have a very good life. The human inhabitants are a kind and very friendly bunch.
Life is slow and leisurely with strong ties to the land.
There is very good hunting to be had in the hedgerows and fields, many species of tasty rodents, rabbits and lots of birds. Many human visitors come for the bird watching. If you fancy a puffin or a cormorant or something equally challenging, we've got them, but you'll have to be an amazing hunter to catch them. If you like steep cliffs with a very long drop to the sea below, covered with angry, shrieking birds, be my guest. I'll cheer you on from a safe distance.
