Thulani in the Isle of Man Part 3


Today Thulani visited Port Erin and sat in the rock garden with Bee and CJ, Thulani met Willow and had a rock in her chair.









We then went to The Calf of Man, this is a small island detached from the Isle of Man hence the name Calf. It is home to some seals and wildlife. The Calf of Man has one house situated on it that is used as a holiday home. The Calf has no electricity gas or oil, so candles and torches are used of an evening when holidaying their.

 




The next day Thulani requested to go tomorrow to the Manx Grand Prix starting line; this is a motorbike event that happens once a year here. The Isle of Man is known for the famous TT races around the world so Thulani took a ride around the TT course with the boys on their bikes.




Thulani also went to Tynwald Hill were our government sit each year.

Thulani in the Isle of Man Part 2




 
Today Thulani went to the Kipper factory in Peel. This is where all the Kippers on the island are processed. Kippers are a natural source of our diet. Thulani sat on the window to view the boats in the bay. Thulani also went into kipper the shop and met Jules at the counter, she thought he was cute.

Thulani and lola, the English bull dog, then spent the morning at Fennella Beach, Thulani declined to go swimming with lolla and thought sitting on the sea weed rocks was so much nicer, he also took photos of the Castle and lolla swimming, off tomorrow to see the museum and fleece museum.

 







Tuesday 14th this is where lola goes swimming every morning so Thulani joined lola. Then we took him to Peel Castle and on to the Fleece Museum and Local Fact Museum.

Thulani arrived on my birthday so he was there to open my cards and presents. We took him out to the creek for an evening meal and then Thulani watched the sun go down.
 
 




The next day Thulani came for a ride in the doggie car to take the dogs for a walk to the beach we then came back and Thulani met the farm cat Millie Moo.


 
 
 
 
On Saturday we took Thulani down to St Judes to the riding school where he met Morgan and the girls.
 



On Sunday Thulani decided he would like to come with me to the greyhound rescue sponsored walk at the Point of Ayre he met the very friendly dogs and the special staffardshire bull terrier called Sheldon.








He also jumped into the teddy basket while I had a cup of tea and had a snooze we had walked 4 miles
