Tynwald Day – Public Holiday (Isle of Man)

Today is Tynwald Day, the Isle of Man’s national holiday, so we thought we would share a poem written by one of our very own Manxies, Esther Nelson.

My Island home! My Island home!
The lone, the loved, the fair, the free;
Pale emerald set in pearly foam,
One Island heart beats high for thee;
Amid the whirlwinds and the storms,
Whate’er my fate, where’er I roam,
The thought of thee my bosom warms,
My Island home! My Island home!

Our Isle of Man office is closed today to observe the public holiday but our offices in Malta and Hong Kong remain open as normal.
