Hey everyone

Iv'e just been over to the Isle of Man on a day trip.  My last trip over was 20 years ago.  Has anyone ever been over there?  It's really a great place to visit.  It's just a pity it was raining on the day and the sea was rough, but that didn't spoil it.

My husband's ancestors are from the Isle of Man, so we hope to visit there some day.

I hope you took some pictures, even if it was raining, we want to see them.

I'll bet it was lovely, Karen.  Did you fly over or go by boat?

One of my neighbours moved over there about 10 years ago, but I've never been.

Peter - The TT wasn't on, and I didn't see many bikes either.

Ruth - We went by Sea Cat and took about one and a half hours.  We set off from a place called Whitehaven in Cumbria.  Whitehaven is about 45 minutes from where I live.

Sue - I did take some pics but they were pretty rubbish, because of the weather, there are only a couple that are ok.
