Goosey Lucy Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 I've finally managed to get some photos loaded onto Photobucket, hope you like them Our Cottage: Views from the top of the hill at the end of the lane (taken on a lovely day, Saturday) The lighthouse is at the most northern part of the island, the Point of Ayre and on a fine day you can see Scotland: Look what our local china shop sells: my egg skelter Sorry they're a bit small, I'll see what I can do (or if anyone can get them bigger, feel free to resize them) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KimmyCustard Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 GL Your cottage looks lovely! Would adore one of those chook cup and saucers from the window of that shop. Think Im addicted to buying things with pics of chooks on them........ Kimmy x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ardene5 Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Hi Where can I park my caravan with full awning and 2 side awnings? One side awning is for my hens as they come with us as we like fresh eggs every day. The other side awning is William & Missy dog (girl), Millie Dog (girl) & Harry sleeps with us in the caravan. What we would really like to say is.......... Have a great new life with your cottage. All the very best. Best regards Ian & Valerie William & Harry Missy & Millie Dogs 9 hens Purple Cube & Eglu with a new Winter run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goosey Lucy Posted September 15, 2008 Author Share Posted September 15, 2008 Ardene5 said: Where can I park my caravan with full awning and 2 side awnings? Ummm... It's actually very difficult to bring caravans onto the island. VW Campervans seem to be ok but towed vans don't seem to be allowed. I'm not sure about motorhome type things though... Don't be fooled by the weather in the second picture, it hasn't stopped raining all day today. We only have a normal car but the state of the half mile of lane today is making me seriously consider getting an old landrover or similar. We're only renting this cottage but it is fab. The whole estate was up for sale for a while but it's been taken off the market now *heaves sigh of relief at not having her home sold out from under her* Thanks to everyone for all your good wishes. I hope we continue to be as happy here as we have been this past month. Now if someone can tell me the lottery numbers for the next draw, I'll happily entertain them as our first B&B guests.

Goosey Lucy Posted September 15, 2008 Author Share Posted September 15, 2008 Emma: come whenever you're ready once Bean is here, I miss having a little one around. Egluntine: You'll be more than welcome. I can then interrogate you about your encyclopaedic knowledge of chooks. Gamebird: You're right, I haven't seen the same sea colour yet and we've been here a month now. Hillfamily: Country Living magazine? Think that might be a bit out of our price range... Kimmy: I didn't have any chickenalia til I moved here. I now have a tea for one set where the teapot sits on top of the cup, a tiny milk/cream jug, a sugar bowl and fruit bowl. We happened to "accidentally" leave these behind in the old house Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couperwife Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 wow Ive not been to IOM since I was very little, (and knocked myself out on the ferry crossing ) I would love to go back if you do B&B, you could fill up on Omleteers for the first year or so, then we spread the word cathy x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riane Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Looks really lovely. Matthew often goes filming on the IOM . He syas its beautiful. Maybe I could get a "theatricals" to stay in your B&B when its up and running Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
