I did in deed - well barely! Violently ill on the ferry - I vowed never to take a boat again (of course I had to get back to London!) My little boy of 14 months didnt fair very well either but it was well worth it.

Didnt quiet find what I was looking for and didnt get to Douglas Borough Cemetary but made it to Lezayre and got to visit the site of three generations!

Loved the island too! And we were blessed with two days of sunshine and the trip back was smooth!

And Frances - thank you so much for all your help.
