I have been an enormous fan of Jimmy Thistle since I started following him on Instagram during lockdown. I was in England, missing the Island dreadfully, and although I enjoyed the “chocolate box” views on other posts, far more appreciated the gritty, quirky images Jimmy captured. The Isle of Man I love and remember. I had already bought a few of his photos for myself and as gifts but last year, commissioned Jimmy to take some photos of places special to me. 

I am absolutely thrilled with the results and whilst across, will be able to transport myself back to Ellan Vannin at a glance!
