Yes,yes,yes. The hotel and food looks amazing. I have also never eaten a scallop so your mate Cameron is not alone. The airport looks an experience by itself. Do you fly there via Guernsey? 🇯🇪
As someone who's been a regular visitor to Guernsey since 1979, I have visited Alderney a couple of times. I remember the first visit was when Condor still ran a hydrofoil service from St. Peter Port. It's always struck me as the sort of place where you might stumble across the Famous Five, chugging on lashings of Ginger Beer! A beautiful, unspoilt island. 😊
Oh my.....you grew up there? Wonderful. I have a playlist called dreams and Alderney is at the top now. I just watched your Antigua video and imagine the waters around your island are much colder than those in the Caribbean. I can remember the waters off the coast of Massachusetts, where I grew up, were so cold I would get "brain freeze" standing ankle deep. Thank you for sharing! I hope 2025 brings you great adventures and exotic, exciting foods.
I sure did! haha, they are certainly colder waters in Alderney but it isn't so bad in the summer when it has had a chance to warm up a bit. Still, it is stunning! I hope you manage to visit one day.
I've never had a scallop before either lol! The bedroom of the Blue Hedgehog hotel looked beautiful! You hail from a beautiful part of the world...much nicer than boring Chorley (near to Preston) lol! Yes, one day I'd love to visit Alderney.
This is brilliant, thank you! I'm considering relocating to Alderney, so videos like this are hugely helpful. I can believe that your friend (who also does great videos!!) may not have tried scallops before, but TOMATOES???! I think he's pulling our legs :-)
That is exciting, hopefully it helped make your decision. haha if only he was pulling my leg, but sadly not! I couldn't believe it either, but it was true.
all good thank you! haha you go way back then! Hopefully you can see some sort of improvement in the videos haha. Excellent news about you going back! You are going to have an amazing time, again!
Wow! Brought back great memories of my times visiting Alderney. Your presentation was amazing,flowing and informative. More videos expanding on the history of the island and it's inhabitants would be great.
Oh this made me well up, watching from 12000 miles away in Aotearoa New Zealand. Spent much of my life on that wonderful island, met lifelong friends and made the best memories. There's nowhere else like it.
Nice job Joe! Miss the sound of that proper fog horn. 28:14 - th-cam.com/video/FBdrWrw3x7o/w-d-xo.htmlsi=fpHP4Btl-aCtijZT Hope you enjoy 😊 p.s. great cameo from Cam!
Thank you Lisa, glad you enjoyed it. I felt the pressure of making a video on Alderney. Hope it can inspire at least one more person to visit. I think we need to be showcasing it more and more like this. It can be very powerful
That was gorgeous Joe, the sound track and views. Many thanks for sharing with us. Have to say it, sorry.. your friend, never tasted a tomato, what the.. I had sea bass in a New Forest pub Christmas Eve, good choice, yours looked special. Happy Christmas and wishing you a Healthy New Year. Ouch, kidney stones, you poor man. Tc
I am pleased to hear that you enjoyed it. But I agree with the what the... all legit and genuine haha, unbelievable really! Merry Christmas to you too.
Well, I can tell you really did grow up on Alderney, because you called Town by its proper name ("Town" or "La Ville" in the old Aurigniais) and not, as those from Guernsey and England so often do, referring to it as "St Annes". The parish of St Anne covers ALL the island, including Newtown, Braye, Crabby etc, not just Town. ("St ANNES" is in Lancashire, not the Channel Islands).
Has the video made you want to visit Alderney?
Yes,yes,yes. The hotel and food looks amazing. I have also never eaten a scallop so your mate Cameron is not alone. The airport looks an experience by itself. Do you fly there via Guernsey? 🇯🇪
@@sueg2470 You can fly from Manchester, Gatwick, London City, Bristol etc via Guernsey or you can go direct from Southampton
@@hungrytoexploreSouthampton is the direct route from the UK but there are routes from Guernsey too 👍
Absolutely love the Island, not been back to visit for a few years. (Your Dad is my cousin. I left the island before you were born!)
Great video!
I’m working over there soon and I wonder how it works for drone flights (sub 250g) and ATC permissions. Great video, you had a privileged childhood!

It’s still that unspoilt place, it would be interesting for you to visit again and see how little has changed! No ferry like that anymore though sadly
I really enjoyed this video and learning about your home. What a beautiful place. I can imagine it was great to grow up there as a kid.
It definitely was, and i love to go back now and get away from it all. I just cannot live there at this stage in my life
Joe I really love you madeira videos :)
But I love this one so much ❤ small airports are the best 😂
haha, my videos outside of Madeira are also good! you should check out the ones in Laos

Joe! How you been mate? I am an old fan back from your old alderney videos. Im glad to say that I'm finally able to go again this year!
all good thank you! haha you go way back then! Hopefully you can see some sort of improvement in the videos haha. Excellent news about you going back! You are going to have an amazing time, again!
@@TheJoeyPyeah! Love your new videos! The quality has improved, definitely!
Brilliant video Joe. I miss this place with all my heart. The best memories of my life
I am really glad that you enjoyed it

Thank you, I am very happy to hear that you enjoyed it. Sadly, this was the only video I filmed when I was back as I wasn't there long at all

ah, I am happy you enjoyed the video, it is an amzing place and I loved growing up there. I hope the video inspires some more people to visit
Could you not have filmed the airport and got your dad to cameo 😂 great video 👌🏻
Haha he was hiding in the back, he’s camera shy
Nice job Joe! Miss the sound of that proper fog horn.

p.s. great cameo from Cam!
now that is nostalgia!! thank you for sharing
“From one Islander to another, what a fantastic video Joe showcasing our wonderful Island! Thank you for capturing its beauty.”
Thank you Lisa, glad you enjoyed it. I felt the pressure of making a video on Alderney. Hope it can inspire at least one more person to visit. I think we need to be showcasing it more and more like this. It can be very powerful
fab video i need to visit again i last went back in the 90s but have never forgotton it. , great video subbed
you 100% do need to return again! you will love it all over again
@@TheJoeyP absolutely probably my fave place in the world
From Australia. “ The Wombles of Wimbledon Common are we”. Awesome.
hahaha you got it!!
@neilandsuzannetravels Elisabeth Beresford, the author of the Wombles books, lived the last years of her life in Alderney.
That was gorgeous Joe, the sound track and views. Many thanks for sharing with us.
Have to say it, sorry.. your friend, never tasted a tomato, what the..
I had sea bass in a New Forest pub Christmas Eve, good choice, yours looked special. Happy Christmas and wishing you a Healthy New Year.
Ouch, kidney stones, you poor man. Tc
I am pleased to hear that you enjoyed it. But I agree with the what the... all legit and genuine haha, unbelievable really! Merry Christmas to you too.
Really enjoyed the Remote Walk & definitely inspired for a future visit!
oh that is exciting, I think you will love it there if you do go
Absolutely beautiful island thank you
Merry Christmas 🎄 and happy New Year 🎊 🎉
Merry Christmas and happy New Year to you too! Happy you enjoyed seeing my home

As an ex Jersey resident i used to love going to Alderney,friendly people

@ i live in Santana now maybe one day i hope
Beautiful beaches! Would love to learn how/why your family settled there.
Stunning, right? My dad was born there and my mum was visiting on holiday and met him!
Love this video, great historic knowledge and I love that there are Wombles on the island 😂
Thanks Bonnie! It is a cool place to visit and so many people have never heard of it
Great content 10/10 would subscribe again
hahah thank you!
Amazing promotion of the Island, if only there was a videographer to showcase the island more 😢
Thank you! Sadly I don't come home often these days or I would film more.
Such a serene place to grow up
haha yeah, for kids, it is amazing!
Scallops my fav
sooo good (when cooked well haha)
i think ALderney is still the most fortified island on the planet
that is most probably true!
You should buy Trevor Davenport's book Festung Alderney if you're into the German fortifications.

haha I sure did! You must know my dad, Steve Parrilla
Love the hotel
I would definitely be staying there
It used to be a pub called the Rose and Crown.
Lovely to see Derek from the Catherine Tate show making an appearance at the hotel there.
play nice!!
