Just a Few More Pictures [2]

Just a Few More Pictures [1]

Just a few pictures in and around Peel. The first one shows the little Breakwater kiosk . Just a little wooden hut at the moment, which has been there for years , but plans are afoot to build a more permanent building . They serve a surprising variety of snacks and drinks and people come from all over the Island . Anyway , what could be nicer than sitting in the sun on the Breakwater in Peel on a pleasant Spring day when this picture was taken. The other pictures just show a couple of scenes from my bike rides and a couple taken in the town .

Miss American Pie

Another first.....if it works! Trying to put a CD on to this blog. If it works you have music to listen to as you read my gossip.... lol If it don't work, well , I'll stick another photo on . Anyway, it is ' Miss American Pie' by Don Maclean. It is one of my favourite songs, full of references to himself, other musicians and tragic past events... I checked it out on line and found a site which explained most of the incomprehensible lyrics. Sad ...aren't I lol....but I love finding out the where's, why's , what's and when's of things I don't quite understand . Anyway, let me press a few buttons and see what happens !!

[ Several minutes later ].................... Ha ha ha ha ha ha! ......it didn't work. You'll have to make do with another picture instead. How about this one. The ' Lady Isabella' ....the great wheel in Laxey in the Isle of Man. It is the world's largest water wheel,,,still working and once used to pump water out of the local lead mines , It was built in 1854 and named after the wife of the then Governor of the Island.
