Day Trip around the Isle of Man

[@niamh-mi8yc]

I have lived on the Isle of Man all my life and I still manage to appreciate how beautiful it is.

[@ZhangK71]

niamh 5013 Out of curiosity, (I know you consider yourself culturally Manx and not any other country, but) if you had to choose between Scotland, Ireland, or England, which one of those would you say your culture is most similar to, or you personally feel the closest to? Also, are your surnames very Gaelic, with parts like “Mac” or “Ó” or “Gilligan” or “Coughlin”?

[@elsijen2884]

ZhangK71 what about Wales? Wales is a country as well you know

[@JulieWallis1963]

niamh 5013 but the real question is......have you explored other places? It’s ok to say “my home is beautiful” but it’s not worth Jack if you’ve nothing to compare it too.

[@niamh-mi8yc]

@@ZhangK71 well I'm partially Irish so that's the one I feel closest to but I think it's like any other Celtic country. I'm actually not sure on the sir names I know ones like Corkhill, Quayle, Quilliam, etc. Are very common here

[@niamh-mi8yc]

@@JulieWallis1963 I've never left Europe but I have travelled a lot including Italy, France, Germany, Austria, etc.

[@glendaking6869]

I would love to see more on the Isle of Man!

[@ArchYeomans]

Me too. There are many great videos on KZbin, Vimeo, etc. What a beautiful island nation.

[@JulieWallis1963]

Glenda King then visit it!

[@ukashk1071]

Yeah!

[@durbeckvonwyman3557]

I visited the Isle in the late ‘80s to participate in an archaeological dig at Peel Castle with a group of fellow students. It was beautiful then and it looks just as beautiful now in your video. I’m hoping to revisit your wonderful land in the future to show my wife and children just how great the scenery and the Manx people are. Also experienced the excitement of the TT Races...WOW!

[@carletongriffin1437]

so enjoyed seeing the Island again...yes, I am homesick.. love to all my friends....miss ing you xxxxxx

[@carletongriffin1437]

Now I understand where Davy Knowles gets some of his musical inspiration. Beautiful island!

[@Lovelygreens]

I just took a screenshot of your comment and sent it to him. He says that it makes him miss home 💚🇮🇲

[@deepanagaraj8764]

Thank you...beautiful video...was there for 4 months many years ago and Isle of man will remain close to my heart!!

[@janeblake5083]

Thank you for posting this video - True to stories I've heard, The Isle of Man is simply breathtaking.. and magical! My grandmother's family (Cubbon) was (maybe still is?) from the Isle of Man, and came to Canada in the late 1800s. I've heard so many stories about this island all my life, and have always been curious as why they emigrated. What a fascinating history this island has. Here is an excerpt from a letter my grandmother wrote (circa 1946) ..."The last we heard of one of mother’s sisters, she was still living in the old Cubbon house on Douglas Head. It is over three-hundred years old and is built of solid stone. There used be be underground tunnels out into the sea, handy for the days when they used to smuggle in the old French wines and brandies, silks, tea and tobacco."

[@tmckmusic8584]

Fascinating letter! Thank you for sharing a piece. 🙏

[@Laters3]

I’m glad to be manx and glad I’ve had the opportunity to race the tt course amazing fun. Thank you for showing my heritage and what a great place live.

[@NckBrktt]

We used to stay at Beach Cottage in Laxey every summer many decades ago. Lovely to see it again and what lovely weather. Nothing seems to have changed.

[@Lovelygreens]

That's one of the best things about the Island...it's a bit of a time warp in many ways :)

[@dianephelps4511]

Loved seeing the isle of man. Thanks.

[@mattievandervalk5803]

Very nice video. I spent two weeks in the Isle of Man during my summer holiday and enjoyed it very much.

No wonder you love it. What an enchanting place to live. Thank you for sharing it with us.

[@Lovelygreens]

It's stunning for sure! Thanks for your positive feedback Ana and for sharing my videos :)

[@veemcg3682]

Tanya I've just enjoyed watching you and Josh's day out around the Isle of Man. Thank you both for sharing this beautiful place with us. I have never been to the island and really never leave my home in Northern Ireland but when this dreadful coronoviris situation is under control I will look forward to going there with my sister, brother and grown up nephews. We are going to celebrate by visiting a place that looks as beautiful as Ireland. God bless you both and keep you safe. Love v

[@aptginc]

My ancestors on my mom's sides are from Isle of Man. Nice to see it. . From California.

Thank you, brought back lovely memories of a previous holiday on the Isle of Man.

[@Lovelygreens]

Awww :) pleased to bring them back! What was your favourite place on the Island?

[@margaretyip3469]

Hello Tanya, I am so glad that I found your video. My brother and his partner live in Ramsey and I am waiting for the lockdown to end so that I can visit them . I am from Belgium and I have been to the IOM a few times---a lovely place. I have been to most of the places in this video and it really brings back so many happy memories. Thank you.

[@markarnold5593]

Always happy to see new and interesting places to visit off the beaten track, and not found in tourist guides. Brilliant, and very well presented! :-)

[@Lovelygreens]

Appreciate it Mark and pleased you enjoyed the tour!

[@ArchYeomans]

Agreed. I was thinking of vacationing in Wales or Brittany, but I might do the IOM instead.

[@KMalcolmful]

Looks like a beautiful place with so many stories to be told...please share more!

[@manxkin]

Some of my mom's ancestors were from the Isle of Man. Came to the states in the 1840's. Have had the great fortune of visiting many years ago and going to the cemetery at Maughold. Found many of my Kinrade relative's headstones. Hence my name manxkin. Thanks for the tour.

[@susanlee4147]

Thank you for sharing it with us. Such a beautiful place

[@fionadoherty7883]

Thank you for this video! I’ve been living in the Isle of Man for 5 years, and my daughter was born there, but then we moved back to France. It is an amazing video to show her where she was born until we return for a trip! Also I never knew about the stones in Laxey ! I wish I did as I was also living there. Thanks x

[@cmc3b_scoot]

I've been to the Isle of Man every year for around 8 years. It's a bit boring back in the UK so thanks for making my day.😁

[@sueminien6039]

Really enjoyed your video and enjoyed learning about your lovely island.

[@Lovelygreens]

Thank you Sue :) pleased you enjoyed it

[@shivajafari2335]

We are lucky to have you in KZbin.

Thank you Tanya. It is lovely to see the Isle of Man. I have ancestry from there and am hoping to go one day and see where my ancestors lived. My mother visited a few years ago. Long way to travel from my home of Wellington, New Zealand.

[@Lovelygreens]

Pleased you liked the video! When this lockdown is over I’m thinking about doing another 🙂

[@hollyclark3731]

I loved this video and would love to see more of the Isle of Man. We will be visiting in June to trace some family history and cannot wait.

[@StevenACulbreath]

I was just there in mid-May (2019) and it's absolutely fabulous, worth a visit!

[@Jason-fp7vi]

I'm from rural Canada but I'm so fascinated with both the Isle of Man and Wales as well. Thanks for the video, it's like I'm really there visiting.

In isle of man you can find so many different Celtic traditions.

[@johnwilson6954]

Hi Tanya - I very much enjoyed your tour of the isle, and would welcome more of these in addition to the cultural and crafting ones suggested by your other viewers. However, I am now starting to get the "shakes" because I will have to wait another whole other week before I can get my gardening "fix" on the Lovely Greens You-Tube channel :)

[@Lovelygreens]

Haha :) Don't worry -- the next two videos are 100% gardening! Glad you enjoyed the local feature in the meantime though :)

[@ggwildlife]

A wonderful video thank you for the tour of your wonderful Island it looks amazing.

[@Lovelygreens]

It really is :) Thank you

[@pristinebeach2630]

Your place is beautiful. Greetings from the Philippines!

[@Lovelygreens]

Thanks and waving back :)

[@dianeirvine1384]

Interesting. Wondered after watching gardening for a few years, about the Island itself. Thank you, now we know.

[@anthonymuriithi7957]

Very beautiful place.😘

[@thymetosow4972]

Thank you for sharing! Fascinating!

[@Lovelygreens]

Glad you enjoyed it :)

[@willowcoulter8274]

I really enjoyed this outing. It's very interesting to see all those places that you live so close to. I would love to see more, plus I would love to see a walk-around of your city. I remember you mentioning local craftsmen. That would be very interesting to see. Thanks for taking us along!

[@Lovelygreens]

I'll see what I can do :)

[@willowcoulter8274]

Awesome! Thank You.

[@moirakemp867]

Lovely!, i sò enjoyed this video! thank you. More of your beautiful country side will be awesome with some history thrown in and also some city living. The gardening vtdeo`s you make for us to enjoy stays my absolute favourite and can not wait for the next one. I live in Port Elizabeth South Africa, also a keen gardener and have picked up so many very useful tips from your video`s and now, sharing your tour of the beautiful Isle of Man, takes me into that stunning place of the world i would love to see some day.

[@Lovelygreens]

So welcome Moira :) There’s a large community of South Africans on the Island - at one time 10% of the population! More videos will follow

[@garywentz8995]

Thanks for sharing. I'd love to visit sometime, based on your presentation.

[@mrsgbee]

Very enjoyable tour thank you, yes, more of them would be lovely.

[@Lovelygreens]

Excellent :) More to come

[@ukashk1071]

Loved it!

[@alanadylan3436]

Stunning! Please share more about the villages, pubs, churches, inns, etc. I'd love to plan a stop when I am visiting UK.

[@dorothymcleod1]

more please lovely place

[@Tracys_Little_Patch_of_Dirt]

What a beautiful island.

[@maudschoenaker5109]

Loved the video! I'd like to see more. But also like your garden videos a lot. Thanks

[@Lovelygreens]

Don't worry, I love the Isle of Man but Lovely Greens is all about the garden :) I'll share some more local feature videos this summer...but in the meantime...gardening!

[@francineh.7825]

I so loved this video!!! Gorgeous. Thank you for taking us on a road trip!

[@carletongriffin1437]

more please...much more1 LOVED IT makes me so home sick!

[@jacquelinefudge5523]

An absolutely beautiful place. My sister and I visited from Newfoundland, Canada almost two years ago. It was the trip of a lifetime...I would love to revisit, but for longer next time.

[@jeaniem342]

Thank you!

[@Colinking2127]

The island looks beautiful, must visit next year. Great video.

[@Lovelygreens]

You should definitely make it over one day. If you like motorbikes then the TT is the end of May / beginning of June. After that madness the Island quiets down again :)

[@Colinking2127]

Will definitely visit next year after the TT. I'M exmotorbiker but wife doesn't like them. Keep up the good work.

[@ArchYeomans]

It's a real toss-up between Wales, Brittany, Jersey, Guernsey, Bornholm, Gotland, and IOS. I want history, culture, and nature with my travels. I'm leaning towards IOM because I also dig industrial heritage (mining).

[@TheJLPrange]

Very much enjoyed it. Thank you.

[@hrafferty9609]

This is such a useful video as it is a different perspective from any guide books.

[@xxadzchu100]

[@2bsemperfi]

Wanted to say I was looking at video for garden and wow..."Thank you" for the trip. I am here awaiting the wife to come home with some dinner and what a awesome video to watch and tag along. :)

[@Lovelygreens]

So pleased you enjoyed it!

[@kirstenwhitworth8079]

Fascinating tour. Yes, please, I'd love to see more of the area. I really enjoyed John "Dog" (forgot his last name) willow weaving videos. It would be fun to see interviews and\or demonstrations by any skilled craftsmen\person\woman (w/e!), especially if they are old crafts not much practiced anymore. Josh seems like a nice guy and a good sport.

[@Lovelygreens]

Ah he is :) Poor partner of a KZbinr 😂 I really like your idea of featuring more local craftspeople

[@darrenquirk2269]

Collister is John "Dog"s surname

[@wildlifegardener-tracey6206]

Looks beautiful and so hilly. I think it calls for a holiday. Great video. 💚🐝

[@Lovelygreens]

Thanks so much Tracey! The Isle of Man is a great place for a holiday -- so much history and nature to discover!

[@carmenwhitehead]

Such a beautiful place full of history and mystery. Thanks so much for taking us along and I would love to see more videos like this! I would really love to know more about the 3 legged symbol and it's origins.

[@Lovelygreens]

The three legs of man can for sure be traced back to the medieval age. The motto for modern symbol is: 'which everway I am thrown I will stand'. However, there are theories that the modern symbol is related to the Celtic triple spiral -- the triskelion. In the past it could have been that each spiral represented a facet of the mother goddess -- maiden, mother, crone. With the introduction of Christianity it could also be a representation of the holy trinity.

[@carmenwhitehead]

Very cool, thanks so much for explaining it.

[@ArchYeomans]

Very interesting. I was reading that the Union Jack was the official flag until 1932 which was adopted in 1801. I wonder what flag was used by IOM before then. I believe the triskelion was inspired by the 45 RPM vinyl record plastic insert. :-)

[@billbird6494]

The three legs has been around for centuries.

[@ArchYeomans]

I've noticed the similarities of the symbol on the Lords of Mann and the Islands coinage.

[@juliettedoyle3146]

I want to go there and find the graves of my ancestors and find the old paper mill that they used to own before coming to New York. But, just in case I never get there the videos are thrilling to my soul.

[@Lovelygreens]

I'm so happy to share them! In which town was the paper mill? I'll bet there are photos on the iMuseum website.

[@wildflowers5555]

Great Video! I am from the Desert Mountains of New Mexico, U.S.A., and loved seeing your beautiful Island! Please show us even more of it as you are able! Thank you! ( P.S., wonderful husband finding those car keys! Amen!)

Very interesting video. What a beautiful place!

[@kadirkacir12]

Tedrık Ederım seni. Harika güzel olmuş

[@ArchYeomans]

After researching IOM, it is loaded with history, culture, and heritage. I still love a good race, but I'm also a history buff and love nature. Thank you for the video. Hoping to see more.

[@Lovelygreens]

History, culture, heritage, and racing -- the Island has a little for everyone :) More local videos will certainly be in store

[@Laters3]

Oman ex racer myself and manx. I’m also a falconer and fly birds. The island has its own crown independence and in the past to keep are own government we gave a cast of falcons two peregrine falcons to the new king 🤴.

[@Lovelygreens]

Interesting! No wonder a falcon is part of the IOM government crest

[@ArchYeomans]

Vikings took a liking to ravens. In Iceland, there's a song about a raven that children usually sing about. The raven's name is Krummy.
