Many seaside towns have an RNLI lifeboat station.
If you ever see men or women running through town they could be heading to the station for a shout, leaving their day to day job at a drop of a hat to help go and rescue people.
You may find watching the boats be launched is interesting, which is it but while your stood there watching take a moment to think of who they are rescuing and the crew who are risking their life’s to rescue others, as unfortunately it’s not always a good outcome.
If you’re looking for something to do on Thursday pop down to the harbour and show your support for the guys (and girls) who volunteer and risk their lives at sea to help others.

Come see us on Thursday 6 August.

When we finish cleaning 🧹your property our job isn’t finished just yet

We get home and start your laundry 🧺

In the past week I have done over 2️⃣0️⃣ loads of washing (not including my own personal laundry) Iv lost count how many hours Iv spent ironing 🤦‍♀️

I don’t have a dryer so I have to wait for everything to air dry before ironing and bagging up ready for the next guests.

That is just a small amount of what Iv done this week!

My little domestic washing machine has been none stop 🛑 all week!
