Laxey morning
I grew up in Belfast, and quite often people ask me if I miss 'home'. The Isle of Man is certainly very different..... yes, sometimes it would be nice to go into the city, to all the shops and clubs. Sometimes it would be nice to buy something in a clothes shop and know you're not going to walk into 10 people wearing the same thing. Sometimes it would be nice to be where nobody knows you and if you do something stupid, nobody cares.
But then you get up and drive to work, looking at THIS..... and I'm reminded I wouldn't be able to call anywhere else in the world home now, this is on my doorstep and I am so lucky for that.
I'm sure a lot of you were delighted to get back to the comforts of the big cities...... but I hope part of you will always look at the Island with fond memories. And not just look back at the percentage of your liver you will never enjoy again.
