A visit with the kitties

If you know me at all, you will understand why a visit to Mann Cat Sanctuary is a must when I arrive.
We were greeted by a variety of loving felines, some of which you could see had a hard start to life.




A real Manx cat


Next was a visit to the paddock to see what bikes were going to race!
Maria Costello's bike - one of the few lady riders



 


Something special on the Island this year, are hand decorated giant fiberglass wallabies. I came across the first one at the paddock.
You might wonder why the IOM would be showing off wallabies......The island has a wildlife sanctuary that has some wallabies.....a couple (male & female) escaped a number of years ago and started a family, which led to more and more and more.  Now the island hosts a large population of wild wallabies. 


After a long day walking around, it was time to go back to the cottage for comfort food
Our UK friends, Christine & David....& Ken
More island fun tomorrow.
