How does Jersey's native language,  Jèrriais,  link to the Island's festivals, celebrations and traditions.  Starting in January  in the depths of winter we take a look at the calendar year from old Christmas day, to 'quarter days' such as Michalmas.   Mel and Perry are joined once more by Geraint Jennings, Jèrriais Promotions Officer and take a tour around the year and find out why St Brelade parishioners are 'caterpillars' and people from St Helier had the runs!
