Things to bear in mind

Jersey is a wonderful place to live, but like anywhere there are some things to bear in mind…

 

The island is quieter and more sedate than other finance centres and cities – the main high-street and large out-of-town shops are not open late or on Sundays (apart from the run-up to Christmas).

 

The pace of island life is slower and whist there is plenty to do in the summer, the winter can be rather long, as many of the islands’ attractions close during these months and the choice of outdoor activities is reduced.           

 

Certain goods are not as readily available in the island compared to mainland Europe and the UK, and the choice can is restricted in the purchasing of clothes, white goods, furniture and specialist products.

 

Whilst the island produces a good selection of fresh produce, milk and locally caught seafood, it relies heavily on daily deliveries by sea and air for national newspapers, mail, supermarket supplies and imported goods. So during brief periods of bad weather items can not be delivered and the same is true for ferries and flights in/out of the island.
