Thanks @JEPnews for featuring my #biography of Frank Lawrence whose navigation through treacherous seas earned him the nickname Hurricane. Frank's story is an inspiring tale of a young man with #dyslexia making his way despite a lack of formal schooling @RNLIJersey #harbourpilot

Check out my biography of #JerseyCI mariner, Frank Lawrence.
‘Navigating a Passage Through Life’ tells of treacherous waters, near-collisions in dense fog, battling hurricane-force winds, drunken sailors and undiagnosed #dyslexia

@LucyStevoJSY @mark_stevo Congrats. What a joy. It must be while since the last deputy of St Mary gave birth! If ever. How would you feel about a mention in the parish mag?

Would prefer Gnahoua

Jersey were runners-up to England at the Home Nations pétanque competition in Scotland this weekend - followed by Wales and Scotland. Congratulations to Jersey trio Geoffroy Buffetrille, Laurent Pellaton & Neil Selby - third best trio with 9 wins of a possible 12

Yesterday while visiting St Mary Pétanque Club & Pétanque Jersey I came across a holidaymaker who’d looked them up and got on his bike to visit them for a game as part of his holiday. Sport enriches our offering to visitors #sportinjersey (thanks to @mlpfennell for the pic!)

Great to meet Pétanque Jersey today for a quick lesson and to chat all things pétanque. I was really inspired to hear how the sport is bringing people young and old together and being truly inclusive allowing all to be active - true community sport in action #sportinjersey

@PeterGr89539754 Thanks Peter. Appreciated

[Mike Fennell @mlpfennell]

Having a consolation pint. Heartfelt thanks to all those who voted for me.

[Mike Fennell @mlpfennell]

@Johnno2504 I did thanks. And good to meet an Aussie - and we didn’t even talk cricket

[Mike Fennell @mlpfennell]

Well, it’s all over bar the counting. Whatever the result, it’s been a privilege to stand for election as St Mary’s Connétable and I’ve enjoyed meeting so many people in our parish. Thanks to those who voted for me. #JSY22 #JerseyElection22 #stmaryjersey

[Mike Fennell @mlpfennell]

@TheOnlyGuru Thank you. Really enjoyed “meeting” you! And your support has been very encouraging. I had lots of ideas for the Parish and the disappointment is not being able to give them a chance to fly.

Horseplay in #StMaryJersey today, as officials check parishioners are registered to vote #JSY22 #JerseyElection22

@Paul27ppr @Voteje A few more than that if you include all the dogs and horses 🐾

[Mike Fennell @mlpfennell]

Great to hear that #StMaryJersey has the highest percentage of registered voters per population in the island. @Voteje says 96.49% of eligible voters in our parish are registered. Hoping see all of those people voting tomorrow #JSY22 #JerseyElection22
