| The American Inheritance 5.1.1 Kirree would like to go out looking for her ‘family farm’. Juan: Shall we go on the electric railway to Ramsey? You get some beautiful views. Ealee: Don’t be silly! We’ll be looking for this farm. Juan: Oh, yes..we’ll have to go in the car. Ealee: Is there petrol in it? Juan: Yes. I got some yesterday. They make sandwiches and set off. They go through Onchan, Laxey and Maughold. Kirree: It’s beautiful country, sure enough. Ealee: That’s Ramsey down there. Kirree: The land’s flat over there. Ealee: That’s rare in the Isle of Man. Juan: Ballaugh is a few miles from here. Maybe we’ll be looking for a farm called ‘Ballacrennell’. . Kirree: Why? Juan: Wasn’t your grandfather’s surname ‘Crennell’? Ealee: Don’t be joking! The American Inheritance 5.1.2 Juan drives the car round the Curraghs. Kirree: The land isn’t too good round here. Juan: No. As one old man said: ‘All soft land in Ballaugh’ Ealee: We’ll have to look in the records to find out about that farm. Kirree: I guess so. I knew it wouldn’t be easy. Juan: It’s a beautiful day. Let’s stop for a picnic. Ealee: As long as there aren’t too many flies. They park the car in a convenient place and eat the sandwiches. The American Inheritance 5.1.3 Juan: It looks like rain now. Ealee: Wonderful! Let’s get into the car. Juan: We can go back through Michael and Peel. Kirree: Are there any other towns? Juan: Yes, Castletown, Port Erin and Port St Mary in the south. Kirree: Are there hills everywhere except for this place? Juan: Yes, mostly. There are mountains in the middle of the Island There’s a gap between Douglas and Peel. Ealee: Let’s go now. It’s raining. They drive through Michael and pay a brief visit to Peel. Then they drive back to Douglas, passing through St John’s, Crosby and Union Mills. |
