Isle of Man Queenie Festival
June 26th, 2008 Posted in Isle of Man, WebsiteWow, it’s been ages since I’ve posted!! The good news is that it’s been really busy, and although no excuse it’s what I’m sticking to.
As well as continuing our work with Neil and Tim we’ve been working on the Isle of Man Queenie Festival and Marine Day. The Queenie Festival is celebrating Queen Scallops, locally known as Queenies. It’s been great to get involved and there is so much going on which I’ll not go into here as it’s all listed on the Queenie Festival website.
We’ve got plenty still to do on this and the website will continue to grow with new features and content added all the time. It’s a real treat to be working on this as it’s so much fun. How nice to be able to say that about work!!
With this project we’ve been speaking to some really great people who are so passionate about the marine environment of the Isle of Man and are putting their own time into making this festival a success. The Manx Basking Shark Watch and Manx Whale and Dolphin Watch are involved and are two groups I knew very little about. You can get to both their sites from the Queenie Festival site and it’s well worth checking out. The best bit is the latest sightings. Despite mucking about in the sea all my life I hadn’t realised we had so much in the way of Whales, Sharks and Dolphins in the water. I think it was just last week somebody spotted a Humpback whale off Port Soderick!!
Anyway hope this explains my blogging absence a little and I hope to get back to posting a bit more frequently.
