Isle of Man Vicar

When I visited Ramsey recently one of the places everyone recommended was closed due to Natalie recovering from an injury.

Well it’s back open!

Make sure if you are on the island you give The Hutch a visit. I will be next time I’m in Ramsey.

Anyone missing a ferry? Spotted this up on bricks when I was in Liverpool, over at Birkenhead. *edited because so many people took offence/corrected the location 🙄

You can really feel the difference here. The air on the Isle of Man is so clean, with that distinct moist, green, and lush scent you get deep in the forests. Takes your breath away.

Spotted a bag of mixed nuts someone's casually left out. We'll pick them up on the way back and leave them on the step. Bit of a strange find, really.

Honestly, you'd think I'd learn. Was just heading over the swing bridge on the Isle of Man and, wouldn't you know it, got stuck waiting. They've done some work on it recently, so it's open now, but that doesn't stop the occasional wait.

Came across this spot, not sure if it's a proper waterfall or just a viewing platform, but it's surprisingly impressive. They've even put a little shelter there so you can get a good look.

Someone left a mess behind, so we tidied it up. Please, let's all do our bit to keep the beautiful Isle of Man clean for everyone.

You're walking along, thinking it's just more of the same, and then suddenly... it opens up. The hills are right there. Proper middle-of-nowhere vibes, with a brunch spot tucked away. Lovely.

Spotted some brilliant murals in the park today. Almost filmed some lovely people admiring them, but decided against it – wouldn't want to make anyone feel like an exhibit. The artwork itself is rather special, though. Wonder who the artist is?

No video this evening. I really try to get a video out every week but the day job comes first along with family and other commitments. After the Ramsey one took off a bit it’s been busy across platforms answering questions and moderating some comments. Appreciate you all and I’ll get something out after the weekend (wedding, 2 morning services, civic service etc.).

Again, thanks for all your support!
