If you're coming to the #IsleOfMan for the #IoMTT you might want to watch this nice video shot in 360 degrees to get a feeling for the course and where you might want to watch from.

Speaking of never being able to afford a house on the #IsleOfMan, @tmmj, I spotted this earlier on a seafront building site.

Well said.

#WyrdWednesday #LegendaryWednesday: The #Fynnodderee is a #Manx folkloric figure. `The `hairy one` of the #IsleOfMan loved human women – so much so that he was evicted from the #Otherworld for missing too many #Fairy dances while pursuing non-fairy maidens. He roamed about, neither of this world nor the other, unable to settle down or to cut his long shaggy hair.`

My transport to the #IsleOfMan #BeerFestival has arrived!

Continuing to share favourite images from my 30+ year photographic career, this is the summit of South Barrule on the Isle of Man. Not posed, and grabbed very quickly with a Mamiya 7, it became a good earner via IoM Tourism.

A new Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the #IsleofMan and #Liverpool City Region aims to strengthen #economic, cultural, and political ties. The agreement focuses on areas such as business, #tourism, #transport, #health, #energy, and public services. The regions share a long history, enhanced by the opening of a new Isle of Man #ferry terminal in Liverpool, which generated £3.2m for the local economy. This MoU is seen as a significant step towards fostering growth and development through increased collaboration. Both Mayor Steve Rotheram and Isle of Man Chief Minister Alfred Cannan highlighted the importance of closer economic ties and mutual benefits. The agreement also includes an annual conference, alternating between the two regions, and will be reviewed regularly to expand cooperation. With strong business links, including £2bn of annual trade, the partnership aims to open new opportunities for innovation, investment, and community development.
