First, we headed to Ballaugh as Dave had heard of an area with lots of snowdrops. We arrived at the spot and, I don't think I've ever seen as many snowdrops in one place. Unfortunately they were on private land and we didn't think the owners would appreciate us on their lawn. There were a few patches outside the grounds though
We also saw some fungus, because of the shape I've called it Ear fungus - I'm sure it's real name is something similar
We next headed to Peel. Last time we had been there the weather was miserable and we had decided to return on a better day. We had a mooch around the streets and took some shots.
After lunch, we headed to Braddan Old Church - another place we had decided to visit on a nice day. It is a really old graveyard, dating back to the 6th Century and the graves are packed in. There is lots of garlic coming up, along with daffodils but at present there is a profusion of snowdrops
We then headed up Douglas Head and took a walk down to the lighthouse. I didn't know you could walk so close to it
We turned back after short walk along Marine Drive. It was rather blowy and unpleasantly cold. We then headed over to Laxey and took a few pictures before the rain started, including one of the lighthouse at the end of the pier that looks a bit like a dalek or, is it just me?
