A COUPLE OF DOUGLAS BUTTIES - AND EVERYDAY LIFE ON THE CALF OF MAN!
The Archive Room
Thursday, 21 March 2024 - 26 minutes
In The Archive Room this week ..... Politician and former Speaker of the House of Keys, Victor Kneale CBE and his wife Thelma chat with David Callister (recorded in around the year 2003) about the need to keep the Manx language alive, and share some of the Manx words they use in everyday conversation.
Leslie Garrett (born in 1932) reflects on the years his Father was Steward on The Calf of Man. Although he was just over 3 years old when they went there (in approx 1936) and he was around 7 when they left, he has cherished memories, and a collection of great stories from that time - including dealing with a horse with severe wind, being creative during food shortages, and Dad delivering two of his siblings! There's even a very beautiful lullaby too!
