Thank you so much Janine and Liam for your lovely comment. The delicious meal we had was a great consolation 😁

Carol, you have my deepest sympathy! Had a day like this a few weeks ago. In the morning wrapped my toes on the footboard of the bed. Just after lunch. Fell up the steps. Smacked my kneecap. Finishing up the dishes after dinner. Closed the dishwasher on my finger. Saved the nail. Broke the finger. My husband said. I don't like where this is going. At bedtime it will be your neck. My reply. Way ahead of you. I'm going to bed now! My husband tucked me into bed with a nice hot toddy and a book. He has my vote for husband of the year! Thank you for showing this trip. I am adding the Isle of Man to our list. Feel better and be safe.

Absolutely gutted to see Carol hurt, there was something heartwarming to see her enjoy a chip with Diane sauce! Something quite emotional about the video tonight, think the music added to it and the serene walk back, very nearly brought a tear….certainly a lump in the throat.

A little bottle of essential oil of Lavander, such as is available from H & B & other healthfood shops, is a great thing to have with you. It is antiseptic & analgesic, anti-inflammatory & anti-viral & good to drip on burns. Sniffing it can help with headaches & will also be calming & help with any nausea.

Hi Michelle. You could probably get a much cheaper ferry if you book in advance and book a return ticket, around £290.

One of those Carol to hide in the van …. Glad it wasn’t more serious …scars of Vanlife video in a few years ….the island definitely has a laid back feel which for me is great. Peel castle looks interesting . Superb drone shots - colours are so good

Another brilliant video. Looking forward to the next one. Take care of yourselves

Can I just say what a pleasure these videos are. I stumbled across your channel today and I've whiled away a lazy Saturday afternoon/evening watching the first nine episodes of your Isle of Man trip. I love these sort of travelling adventures and, having never been to the IoM before, I've been really interested to see it close up. I love the personal nature of it, from the campervan arrangements, the mealtimes, to the scenery and the stunning drone shots. It really feels like I'm along for the ride! Thanks to both of you for sharing your travels with us and I look forward to seeing the rest of this trip and many more. :)

When you mentioned Fenella and I saw Peveril it reminded me of some Manx history. Fenella and Peveril have been popular names of ships in the IOM Steam Packet Company going back to the late 1880s.

Despite Carol's mishap , you produced another lovely travelogue of Peel but no, "the"is not required before Tynwald, Ken ( it is just Tynwald) and yes, that school that you pointed out is very much a going concern . It is Bunscoill Ghaelgagh, the only primary school that teaches all lessons in the Manx language, so quite important to the Island's culture, indeed. Manx was almost extinct but there is a concerted effort to keep it alive which is in evidence all over the Island,

Oh no, awful seeing Carol hurt and it looked a nasty cut 🤕. Good to know all was well and what a tasty looking meal. ATB both, Sue x

I spent 7 years over there. Working and living in my motorhome. Lovely place and great wildlife.
