Continuing my tour of the British Isles, I include below some of my sketches and photographs of The Isle of Man …
Quayside at Peele on the Isle of Man West Coast
Above and below are five of my sketches resulting from my visit to the Isle of Man in 1999. Titles will appear as you hover your mouse pointer over the picture. Larger versions of these can be seen by clicking on any one of them . . .
… and here are nine of my photographs to give a better view of some of the island’s special places . . .
Heathers near Point of Ayr, the island’s most northerly point
Ramsey Harbour – north-east of the island
Manx (tail-less) cat at Ballalheanagh Gardens
Laxey Water Wheel
Statue of Mariners at Peele Harbour
Maughold Head on the east coast
Niarbyl on the West Coast
Cregneash Village – Living Museum – much of the film ‘Waking Ned’ was filmed here in 1998.
Memorial to the loss of the brig ‘Lily’ in 1852 … at the Calf of Man – southernmost point of the island
Roland's Ragbag 
Nice photos and sketches Roland. The house I spent most of my childhood looked over the Irish Sea and I could see the Isle of Man from my bedroom window. I have still yet to visit.

Ireland is one of the places that I hope to visit one day. There are so many beautiful places all over the world that I’d love to be able to visit. Unfortunately traveling costs money!

It certainly does, but, do it when you can. Don’t wait until you’re a bit too old to manage it – like me.

I’d love to re-visit myself, Cate. Doubt if I’ll get the chance again.
