We offered to give our guests a lift down to Port Erin this morning as they wanted to take the steam train into Douglas. They had travelled over here yesterday on their bikes but wanted a day on the trains.
Once we arrived we found that they had an hour to wait for the next departure so they invited us for a coffee to while away some time. We popped into the Whistle Stop cafe on the station platform and enjoyed some very good coffee and a chat.
Two lovely fellas, mature bikers with a love of all things mechanical. I, of course, was a bit of a spare part in most of their conversations but I enjoyed their company.
We have had 2 holidays on the Isle of Man, both years ago and both times went on that train. We loved everything about the Island.
ReplyDeleteI love the steam trains!
DeleteLife sounds to go at a much more leisurely pace over there - lucky you.
ReplyDeleteIt is a relatively safe and peaceful place to live, for the time being anyway.
DeleteI would have enjoyed being there with you.x
ReplyDeleteAnd you would have been very welcome Rachel x
