I swear those of the rest of you that live here, we really do live on the most beautiful island in the world.
Yeah it's not a tropical island but we have so many differnt micoclimates here, so many differnt beaches, such differnt scenery depending where you go.
And such amazing history.
Ok we don't have motuinas but tbh if we did the whole island would have to be one :)
I for one am so gratefull I got to grow up here yeah it can be boring I've had some shit times but then i've had the best times of my life here.
It makes me so sad to think about what we're loosing.
What we will never see what we won't see again and what our kids won't get to see due to erosion.
it's natural I suppose but I wish I could have seen places like southview in all there glory.
The old original blackgang too when it was first buiilt. Hence I wish i could have travelled the niton to blackgang road the full journey.
Do any of you remember tarzan down at blackgang.
i remember him when I was 10, the next time I went back to blackgang he was half way down the cliff.
I want to step 100 year forawrd to see if they still try and save it, they can only keep moving it further up the island before it loses all the things we loved it for as kids, the cheep takky plastic dinosaurs :)
all the amazing plants that made you think you were in a jungle :p
And best of all rumpus mansion :'(
they can't move rumpus mansion as it's a real house. Will they keep moving things further up but have it loose all it's charm or will they let the sea take it so everyone can remember blackgang in all it's glory as we remember it.
unfortunatly not how the victorians remmeber it.
it would be amazing to see it back then :)
now some pics
From this
To this
hahaah remember this, and that it always smelled of piss inside XD
And remmeber when it became not as easy to get in and oh so near bloddy impossible to sqeeze out?
Rumpus mansion for some reaosn still one of the most scary places on earth, even more so than that bloody crooked house!
The fairy castle :) I always wanted to live there ^^ for those of you who have never been, you can climb those turrets they're people sized and have spiral staircses inside :)
Remember tarzan? :p
Who hasn't climed that dinosaur, and the zebras they're fun to ride!
I think i'll write more island blogs about differnt parts that I love maybe.
But blackgangs one of my faves, that whole area, I just wish I could find some southview pics :(
I do so love this place :(
