Day 3 - IOM 2019
The Sunday roast for lunch was delightful, coming with a
variety of veg and Yorkshires. The meat was beef, with a red wine gravy.
In the afternoon we headed to Laxey Wheel and the coal mines. A lot of the young boys, and in particular Fin Ratcliffe, proved their intelligence with previous background knowledge. The views were magnificent from the high standing structure and there were some beautiful streams and tributaries.
We then proceeded further north to Ramsey and were invited in by the smell of the infamous Ramsey Tea. The wonderful Ladies provided a brilliant platter and the boys tucked in. Once stuffed with hot dogs, sausage rolls, sandwiches and many a cake, we regrettably had to sing on a full stomach; not a good idea.
The service was very good as a whole, with excellent readings, prayers and a solo from: Matthew Hickey, James Ridings, Michael Marshall, Michael Corrick-Pollard, James Cross, Lachlan Walsh (soloist) and finally, Ben Hodson.
After that action-packed day, I’m sure you’ll all agree that

Well done Michael from James.
