We celebrate Shenn Laa'l Catreeney, St Catherine's Day by the old-style calendar, which coincides with 6th December by the modern reckoning, with a visit to the well, keeill and present church dedicated to her in Port Erin and then a fair at Bell Abbey in Colby, where there was also a well and keeill, and devotees seem to have been notoriously thirsty.
Our story in Manx begins and ends in hospital, whilst a story develops in the interim. This is a translation of a story in English by Simon J Wood, living in Lincolnshire, but writing about London.
