A hearty welcome to new members since Elizabeth's last posting when she was owner of the site

Other engagements led to her handing over the group to me for caretaking and I am slowly re-activating archived postings of interest so watch for those several years old today

Meanwhile, do feel free to post or at least to introduce yourself here if you like

Kindly address all postings to the whole group and not to me or others personally

Thankss and enjoy the IOM group

I have had several holidays in the Isle of Man. I have timeshare and have stayed four times at the Cherry Orchard at Port Erin, very welcoming and comfortable. I think they also let apartments.

But the first time I stayed in the Isle of Man was in the 1950s, at the CHA guesthouse in the old coastguard station on the cliffs at Peel. I had never flown before but thought the 20 minute flight from Blackpool would be endurable even if I didn't like the experience! We were delayed by fog and the conductor on the bus from the airport said I would miss the connection to Peel if I stopped on the bus right into Douglas, so he told me and some other Peel bound passengers to get off earlier and wait for the Peel bus to come along. Fortunately it did and we arrived at the guesthouse safely but a girl from Newcastle was on a later bus . She would have missed her connection to Peel. "Never mind " said the conductress. "Come home with me and I'll put you on the Peel bus next morning." When I heard that story, I took to the Island and its people straightaway.

I do hope to visit again some time soon.

Elizabeth ... it's so "funny" --- because I joined a long time ago; since Care2 updated their software I've had friends go "missing" from my list as well as "groups" that I joined before ... I'm happy to be back!

Hello friends, Susila in Nepal/Norway, re-joining the group. A long story, but once again I might be contemplating a move to the fabled Isle of Man. Anyway, I did want to re-join you, and follow the discussions.

Warm greetings from sadly war-torn Nepal, Susila

Hello Elizabeth.  This is the first time I have posted and I wanted to let you know how I am enjoying reading the topics.  I especially like the photo's of all the Manx cottages.

We are intending to move to the Isle of Man this year.  We are coming over in just over a week's time and have lots of houses to look at.  We know the Island very well as we spend nearly 3 weeks there every year for the Manx Grand Prix. 

We just have to decide where to stay in February.  We usually camp but can't do that this time of year!!  We are thinking of the Groudle Glen Cottages, as we have stayed there in the past. 

We are really looking forward to our visit and just hope the Ferry crossing won't be too rough. 

June
