What a day to show a delightful group of visiting journalist the birth place, grave and inspirational sights which inspired our own Archibald Knox. We were so lucky!

I was so lucky tonight to have been invited to the preview of the Knox: Order and Beauty exhibition at the Manx Museum this evening. It is a truly extraordinary achievement on the part of Manx National Heritage and the Archibald Knox Forum. They have gathered together a stunning collection of paintings, artefacts, furniture, wall coverings and more. It is balanced with beautiful quotes from Knox and his many friends and associates and is lit to perfection.

Congratulations to all concerned!

Lovely to see the sunshine for New Year's Day. I'm at a little waterfall where locals decorate the area with a tree and leave craft materials for children to make cards. What a lovely idea! There are swims around the Island today too. What bravery in these waves?!!!
