Margaret Witherington visiting from Australia
An Australian visitor with Manx roots is looking forward to today's Tynwald Day celebrations.
Margaret Witherington lives in Brisbane but was born at the old Jane Crookall Maternity Home, on Demesne Road, and grew up in Douglas.
She moved away several years ago but has always stayed connected to her homeland as a member of the Queensland Manx Society.
On her first trip back in more than a decade Margaret told Manx Radio, while she sees a lot has changed, the essence of the Island is the same:
Port Erin Dental Practice out of action after fire
Could the Isle of Man Government breach its own climate laws?
Medical director and nursing director depart Manx Care
Sulby Riverside developers hopeful for positive planning result
