This wonderful place is Laxey Glen. It's not too far from home, but it's absolutely beautiful. Yesterday, we had a lovely walk along the flat part of the glen. The skies were blue, the water rushing, gushing and glubbing, blue bells are just making their presence known. The sun was shining, and a very, very pleasant time was had by all, especially Ava. She loves being off the leash and having the chance to run and sniff and investigate.
The next stop was Laxey Station. A great deal of work has been done in the station area, and it's looking great. The stone paving has come from the same quarry as the paving in Castletown. The fossils and corals, and rock colours are so similar.
A group of bikers were cooing over Ava, declaring her to be beautiful. 'Beautiful' was very interested in the ice creams we had, and I shared mine with her. When eating ice cream for a little spoon she is a dog of grace and delicacy. However, when I gave her a whole scoop she wolfed it down in one! No more ice cream by the scoop or she'll have a sore tummy.
All in all, a very pleasant little jaunt in the Manx countryside.
