While the Isle of Man may only lie 30 miles from the coastline of County Down, I was already the grand old age of 21 by the time I’d set foot on its shores for the first time. A further four years would then pass before I’d have that priviledge again. The rationale on this occasion wasn’t so much for sightseeing purposes, but rather for the Christening of my young cousin Joshua.
All the places i’ve been and never to Fermanagh or the Isle of Man. Well, part of that sentence is now void. We took one of those special summer cruises over to the Isle of Man – you know, the ones filled with screaming kids and old men with silver beards. It took 3 hours to sail a stretch of sea no more than 30 miles across. Saying it like that – it sounds like I was annoyed, but I wasn’t.
