It was that time of year again, Caroline’s birthday, so the Elliott sisters decided it was a good excuse for another get together. The venue was Caroline’s house on the Isle of Man. I flew from Blackpool and Saskia flew from Luton. It’s always exciting flying from Blackpool. The plane is teeny (9 passengers) and it only takes 25 minutes.
There were no great plans of adventure, so we did what girls do best – talked, drank wine, talked, went shopping, and talked some more….
On Saturday night we had a lovely meal at Harbour Lights in Port St Mary – more drinking and more talking.
On Sunday Malcolm took me, Saskia, Laurence and Maddie out on his rib to look for basking shark.
We didn’t find any, but there were plenty of seals and we had a fantastic time crashing through the waves by the Calf of Man.
All too quickly the weekend came to an end and it was time to go home…. …until next time.
