If you're thinking you've not heard from the Terns for a while, you'd be right...
We've hit another insanely busy period, and are behind with everything.
So, with only chronology for rhyme and reason, here are the last couple of weeks:
Lemon muffin at Java Express
Blossom at the football field
Another of our early walks to Douglas
The Union Mills circuit again
Douglas shadows
More of those wonderful terraces
Spill the Beans Coffee. A new one for us, and handy for the bus station
Wednesday 15. We picked up the car, ready for the arrival of my mum-in-law on Thursday. Down to Port Erin for a few final preparatory purchases. Of course, you say hello to the steam train. Would be rude not to
Local trees going great guns
Tynwald Mills, now a shopping complex, formerly a textile mill, makes a nice little trip. Woollen mills used to be a big thing on the Island
Port Erin again, looking spiffing on this bright, blustery day. From here, MIL and I took the steam train to Douglas, and Nigel picked us up at the station
Today, Sunday brunch in Castletown with my folks. At Stanley's, which has a wonderfully innovative menu. Mine was the crab Benny...
Local purple...
