J and her husband are old
friends of Karen's and moved to live at Peel on the Isle
of Man earlier this year. We were staying at J's lovely
house in Peel very near the sea-front.
Karen had never been on the Island before but I
had been twice before during the famous motorcycle TT Races in 1984
and 1985.
On Friday the weather didn't look promising with
quite a lot of cloud and J took us on a drive around the Northern
part of the island and a walk around Peel Castle which was very close
to J's house.
On Saturday J's husband joined us for a drive in the
Southern half of the island stopping off at a Glen Maye with a walk
passing a waterfall and leading to the beach. We then continued to
the Southern tip of the Island and stopped at the café opposite the
small island called the Calf at Man where we had something to eat
while watching seals and seabirds on the rocks outside.
Afterwards walked to the nearby stone circle
called Mull (or Meayll) Circle of at sunset overlooking the village
of Port Erin.
After a short while back at their house, J dropped us off at the airport to catch a flight in the evening
back to Manchester and then about an hour and 10 minutes later we
were back home.
