We have a picture of my husbands gt. gt. gt. grandfathers house in Douglas, his son came to Norfolk as a coastguard, raised a family here then went back to the Island on retirement, we found their tombstones. On one visit there we sat next to Norman Wisdom at a dance, he was 80 at the time and how he could jive. Lovely place |
