Another glorious day on the Isle of Man – sunshine, blue skies, a cold wind, 4\u00b0C and snow-lined roads. I made an early start and headed out for a bike ride whilst Anna and Morgan had breakfast. My ride took me through Colby and into Port St Mary, along the coast road into Castletown and then an anti-clockwise loop of the Southern 100 loop. This was followed by a ride through Castletown past the airport and then up the Ballamodha straight to the South Barrule Plantation, before turning around and returning down the hill… There’s a Strava segment on this descent and I reckon I would have had it if it weren’t for the fact that I was stopped by temporary lights towards the bottom.<\/p>\n
After I had some breakfast and a quick bath it was time to head off to the northern end of the island and the house and garden at Milntown. We wandered around the gardens and Morgan did an Easter egg hunt which was the main reason for heading here. We had a lovely lunch here as well, including a delicious Mississippi Mud Pie for pudding. As well as the Easter Egg hunt the gardens had some interesting sculptures and lots of benches made from trees but the plants were still in winter mode for the most part.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
