Seaside Rescue............

Goodness me what excitement, although I bet it was'nt for the poor lady, glad it came good though, they do an absolute brilliant job these people.

great photos..i hope the lady is ok...

Thank goodness for the search and rescue people. They do a marvellous job. Must have been exciting to watch. I hope the poor lady is OK.

Wow, thats it really, Holly, I've seen the lifeboat launched from Skegness but never seen the helicoptor so close. I hope the old lady is ok as well!

Yes, we should be thankful these people are there. I live reasonably close to Boulmer where there is a search and rescue team (which we are losing shortly...its being franchised out...ha.ha.).....We often see the choppers buzzing back and forth. I've even sat in one.......I belong to a RNLI Luncheon Club and we had a visit to Boulmer and went underground to see all the computers that track the airspace around the UK and watch out for baddies!!! I remember some of those airmen were very.....nice......lol

wonderful work they do

Great photos Holly...the air ambulance is the only charity I give to regularly as it is special to us for a sad reason & the Dorset/Somerset AA takes off about half a mile from our house & we see it go over all the time.
They should get more funding from the Govt.

The problem with government funding is that "they" want to run it and ruin it....((:

To true Lou, the RNLI is only so good because it isn't government funded, they don't have to have managers to manage the managers, who manage the managers. ad nausium..... and, if you want to know what this has to do with gardening, they have some lovely displays outside the boat shed at skegness !?! :~))

I'm pleased to hear it Ian....lol

I know that Ian, I can vouch for the lovely floral displays around the lifeboat house in Skegness I have been and seen them, it is wonderful to see, maybe you could go take some shots of it and post it up on a blog?

We've been several times this year and I've forgotten my camera every time :~((

smacked wrist Ian!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

Doh, :~((

Great work from the rescue team, Ian you dont live that far from Skeggy do you.

No, Carol, only about 80 odd miles from here. Two hours by my car, 1 and 1/2 by anyone elses. Lol

How terrible ! I hope the lady is allright now. It must have been a nerve-wracking experience for her =:O
