Todays word was selected by @homemade.bycoco - Bicycle Swipe to see @monsterfulillustrations Version We may be #chalkandcheesechallenge but as you can see sometimes somethings align - baskets on bikes. I was going to add those little jazzies on the spokes but I forgot! Bah! The #gaelg for this is pronounced dair-hweel, but it can also be 'roar' (pronouced rawr) about 35% of manx gaelic speakers I asked call it by this name, so i felt it important to include. By the way its meant to be a balance bike so that's why there's no gears/pedals. TIL they can also be called a #dandyhorse! #learnmanx #kids #children #firstbike #balancebike #drawingchallenge #sisters #illustration #illustrationartists #illustratorsoninstagram (at Isle of Man) https://www.instagram.com/p/CH47S-3DeZQ/?igshid=cf854s87ek5t

So following on from yesterdays word - this is the fruit. We forage them and make a syrup (that's apparently crazy high in vitamin c) using an old war time recipe. My family likes it poured ontop of vanilla ice cream - where it tastes a bit like raspberry ripple. Also good on porridge! @Rivercottagehq have a very easy to follow recipe if you fancy trying it, apparently the hips are best picked after your first frost - but I've no experience of any difference. #manx #manxgaelic #gaelg #learnmanx #languagerevival #forage #foraging #preserving #foodpreservation #wildflower #wildrose #british #isleofman #rosacanina #rose #illlustration #plants #botany #gardening #gardener https://www.instagram.com/p/CH2dtBWokGB/?igshid=iezfe2scnwcw

Which melon is the meloniest of melons? To our household when you say melon you mean honeydew. This one can also be called 'mellyn millish' meaning sweet melon. Which is the meloniest of melons for your household? let me know in the comments and maybe we'll add it to the vocabulary. #fruit #yellow #melon #mellyn #learnmanx #manxgaelic #ynseegaelg #gaelg #learnanewlanguage #manxlanguage #goidelic #gaelic #babbangaelg #flashcard #isleofman #manx Testing crossposting with IG so excuse the tags but hoping this will save me some time, less time posting to social media is more time spent with Evelyn... and / or designing more word cards :) (at Isle of Man) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHLaNzZh-2s/?igshid=138375zuardx8

The childless among us may have a weekend looking a bit more like this (to the last post) This is a great example of the plurification (yeh I'm sure that's a real word) the adding of the 'yn' at the end, like in English with the 's'. No doubt there'll be exceptions to this rule. I'm learning with you.

This is what my weekends used to look like 😂 cosying up with a lioar (l'yawr) - although this weekend it might be a bit more colourful and have bunny rabbits in it... #learnmanx #manxgaelic #ynseegaelg #gaelg #learnanewlanguage #goidelic #gaelic #babbangaelg #flashcard #isleofman #manx #illustration #illustrator #design #book #reading #reader #lifeafterkids (at Isle of Man) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGuAM0MpFVR/?igshid=e40bbykeciau

Today's word is (KRAMM-ag) as snail mail has been on my mind a lot this week.

Sollan (SOLL-an) we always have to pretend to add salt to Evelyn's dinner. She asks for more when she sees us add it to ours. #illustration #illustrator #design #learnmanx #manxgaelic #ynseegaelg #gaelg #learnanewlanguage #goidelic #gaelic #babbangaelg #flashcard #isleofman #manx #salt #kitchenprint (at Isle of Man) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGmZRgvpcsK/?igshid=v02hou6cdl19
