Well hello there!
So, I am finally feeling like I understand this country in a lot of ways, and I am thoroughly enjoying it. Let’s hope that this adventure never ends.
This past week I took a flight out to visit my uncle on the Isle of Man and I am honestly so glad I did because we had the best time. Here are some of the things we did:
I flew in the evening on Thursday and started the trip off with dinner at his house and watching a movie that night. This is something I love doing, so it was something that felt like a piece of home.
On Friday, we visited the Laxey Wheel and a nearby shop where I got the softest scarf for my boyfriend. In the shop, was the cutest 15-week-old puppy. I loved the handmade items that the shop owner sold, and you could even see everything the shop owner was making which I thought was pretty neat. He sold different hats, scarves, sweaters, and other one-of-a-kind pieces. Later that day, we went into Ramsey and got some gelato which was very creamy and rich, it was so nice to have and if you know me you know I got chocolate.
On Saturday, we had the chance to go on a train ride that went through the coast and countryside. You get the chance to see sheep, cows, and everything the land has to offer which I love. The train ride led to a short trip into Port Erin to get some Davison ice cream, which is seriously amazing.
On Sunday, my uncle and I went and took a trip up to Snaefell which was very windy and cold but had a little bit of view even with the fog. We had some clotted cream, jam, and a scone which has been one of my favorite things to eat here in England as a snack. We later went to see family for dinner and had parmesan chicken with varied vegetables which was cooked to perfection.
Even though it rained I thoroughly enjoyed my visit, and I can’t wait to go back with my boyfriend at some point. I love the Isle of Man, and it might even have a piece of my heart. Well, that’s it for now and I am so excited that you are on this journey with me. See you soon!
Yours Truly,
Sarah Auburn
