Mannannin’s cloak – protecting the Island from invaders

Every now and then the Island is threatened by invaders but we are quite safe as the great sea god, Mannannin, after whom the Island is named, hides the Island in a cloak of mist to protect us. It has a magical and eerie feel to it. I’ve shown you lots of pictures of the Tower of Refuge in Douglas Bay. Here is what it looks like wearing Mannannin’s Cloak:

Even the views out of my two office windows disappear:

Gambolling lambs are very distracting and I get lots of visitors!

The weather never prevents me from going out, though Charlie doesn’t want to know me in my rain outfit!
