Gull at Peel breakwater

The gull at Peel breakwater

I was up early as I always am in Peel and wandered down to the breakwater. There was no one else around except for the woman opening up the cafe and the gull. The gull at Peel breakwater was a pretty cool customer. He stood there eyeing me. He knew that if I tried anything he would be able to fly off.

I walked slowly towards him taking pictures as I got closer. As I got to within a few feet he took off and I instinctively clicked the camera button on the phone. I didn’t look at the photo until I got home but was pleased with the outcome. When you are on holiday you are easily pleased:)

After lunch I will saunter again through town to the beach. The prom has an ice cream parlour that sells Davison’s. Delish. The format is quite likely to be wander idly around, catch an ice cream and time the whole stroll to end up at the Creek for a beer. Mam is cooking a curry for tonight. She is a good cook. We all look forward to a bit of luxury living on the island.

I may stop off at the Harbour Lights Cafe. They have free wifi and a twitter account – @harbour_lights. Follow them if you will. I’ve written about them on more than one occasion – check these posts out. I should get myself hired by the Isle of Man Tourist Board the number of posts I’ve written about the place!

Whatever happens, wherever I stroll, whichever pub I stop off at it is going to be a fairly chilled few days. A chilled 3 weeks actually. Please come back to trefor.net for more exclusive holiday photos as they are snapped.

Hasta la vista amigos.
