Please GNHQ ... would you consider letting *EllanVannin* come back to this site?

Glammanana, she probably knows the following sweet lyric.

When the summer day is over,
Its busy cares have flown,
I will sit beneath the starlight,
With a weary heart alone.
Then it rises like a vision
Sparkling bright it shines for me
My own dear Ellan Vannin
With its green hills by the sea
Let me hear the ocean murmur
Let me watch your stormy sky
Then above the emerald waters
Sings the seagull as she flies
Then arising like a vision
Sparkling bright it shines for me
My own dear Ellan Vannin
With its green hills by the sea
And in all my times of sorrow
And on some lonely shore
I'll go back to Ellan Vannin
To my childhood days once more

Good news. Thank you Hebe GN

Lovely poem Caleo

Delighted to hear that.

Robin Gibbs sings Ellan Vannin and it’s just gorgeous. m.youtube.com/watch?v=DECeG5mZOjI
The Bee Gees were born in the Isle of Man and moved to Manchester when they were young. We used to go to the Isle of Man every summer, on holiday, when my brother and I were young. It holds such lovely memories and I was reminded of them daily when I saw EV’s name in the GM thread. My brother died at the beginning of the pandemic and I chose the song to be played at his service.
