IF A PICTURE PAINTS A THOUSAND WORDS.....
Hello lovely WOYWWers - hope you've all had a great week. I'm particularly pleased to see Shaz Silverwolf (and hublet Doug) back from Kos, where they experienced an earthquake and aftershocks whilst on holiday. Your FB antics were interesting Shaz but I'm glad you're ok!
Right...the desk. I didn't know what to do next after all the making for the RNLI and my scraps box was exploding even more. I thought I'd take inspiration from you papercrafters and do some masterboards, but out of fabric. I have no idea what they'll be used for but it was mindless crafting to fill an hour or so!
Just putting scraps together....
That sort of thing....
The scraps box doesn't look any different really huh??!
The RNLI Open Day was last Saturday, the weather was fab and loads of people turned out to support a really valuable (and totally voluntary) rescue service in our town.
Recognise some of these? Some items didn't even make it onto the table and were snaffled up beforehand, lol!
There is lots of equipment to keep up to date...
The crews did some presentation stuff, capsizing the boat etc. That's the old boathouse in the background, a brand new one begins construction in Nov - it's going to be amazing and much easier to launch the boats.
This crew whizzed off to rescue some kayakers as a demonstration (other crew members in reality)
Bringing them back into harbour - the whole operation was extremely quick. The Burry Port station is the third busiest in Wales - we are on an estuary with a huge tidal range and sandbanks far out to sea where it's all too easy for people to get cut off.
Beautiful but needs to be treated with respect.
And last, but definitely not least, we took delivery of a new coffee table this week.....
It was tested to its limits and deemed worthy :-D
So lots of pictures and not many words today, hope you've enjoyed! xxxxxxxxxx
