Sunday 5th February 2012

This morning Chris suggested that, for a change, we head into Douglas to take some pictures. I think this may have been partially motivated by the chance for him to drive my new car over the Mountain Road.

On arrival in Douglas, we decided to do a pincer movement, Chris would walk along the front and I would go through the shopping area. We would meet at the end, go down to the Villa and then cross over for our walk back to the car.

The shopping area was fairly quiet - many places weren't yet open

We bagan to walk down towards the Villa

We entered the Villa gardens, apart from a few Primroses, nothing much in flower yet

We went onto the upper walkway

We then went into the Villa itself.

Part way up the steps, there is a sculpture

We headed back down towards the car

I arrived back at the car first so, occupied myself taking pictures of it whilst waiting for Chris to arrive

Shame the other cars are in the way of my shot.....
