Wow! Did we have a thunder storm yesterday evening! It came from nowhere and the first peal of thunder shook the house....must have been about 3 ft away ! ....and the heavens opened......I mean, we could do with a bit more rain, couldn't we . It knocked the Broadband signal out for the Island but back on now this a.m.... though a bit slow at the moment. No danger of floods though, Peel is built on sloping ground and water just runs down to the sea.
I hope any viewers of this journal are enjoying the experience, though I suppose, in reality, everyone will be bored stiff...just the thing to put you to sleep at night time!! Anyone with any suggestions to what they might like to hear about the Island , well I will do my best.
Today's picture [ borrowed ] is a view of the Northern Plain taken from the Mountain Rd with Ramsey below. You can see the shape of the Island, well, the Northern tip, from this picture and this fertile land is quite a recent addition to the Isle of Man, the sand and gravel it consists of being deposited there after the last Ice Age when the ice receded. Ramsey [Rhumsaa ...in Manx Gaelic ] is the second largest town on the Island...we only got four !!
