FOR THOSE IN PERIL ON THE SEA
Hi there folks, hope you've had a great week! The best news is that Neet is now home from hospital, hooray! If you're reading this Neet, I'm so glad you're home, it must be wonderful to be in your own space again xx
As the weather has been a bit chopsy this week, I've been in the JanCave quite a bit getting through a lot of makes ready for the upcoming fairs. A recent total from the Harbour Light cafe was another couple of hundred quid so we start the year on £13,011 which I'm so pleased about!
The JanCave has had a lot of this:
I LOVE this fabric, so bright and breezy! I've used both linings (at top of the pic) as they both work well.
This daffodil fabric is popular around here as you can imagine:
and I channelled my inner Bet Lynch with a bit of animal print!
It's quite classy rather than Corrie IMO!
Last Sunday saw me doing a fill in shift at the RNLI shop, it happened to coincide with the training that the crews do every week. The wind was blowing hard and the sea state was very rough:
The boats were launched off this slipway, they'd already gone out by the time I got there but they absolutely bounce over those waves as the tide is ferocious from right to left in this pic.
I managed to catch them on their return though:
They came back into the harbour where the tractor goes down the inner slip with the trailer:
The tractor crew have to be brave too as they often go into the water with the levels halfway up the driver's door.
It's nice to see what the fundraising money goes toward!
Love to you all, hope your week goes well xxxxxxxxxx

Well done on your sales total - every penny so well spent. Great pics of the boats etc. Your bright fabric is gorgeous and will make lots of lovely items. I agree the animal print looks very classy 😀x x Jo 🌈
Brave indeed! Wow. Lovely you got to see the fruits of your labor. I agree with you on the animal print - way more classy that old Bet, this one looks quite good, especially set off by the dots. And yes, that first fabric is so cheerful. Love it! Enjoy. Happy quick dash, pre-knitting WOYWW!

Well done Jan, that’s a brilliant total you’ve raised for the RNLI. I love your cheery fabrics and there’s nothing wrong with a bit of Bet Lynch (she says, putting on her leopard print cowl to go to art class!)
Happy WOYWW

Well done you with the total raised and thanks for the photos of the boat and tractor…they do such a great job. More gorgeous fabrics Jan…they certainly brighten up a gloomy day.
Hugs,

The crew are so brave, I didn’t realize the tractor had to go into the water to pull them out! Did you see about the rescue team that rescued two men off the mountain, got them to a hotel to recover at a reduced rate, and they skipped off the next morning without paying their bill! People have been sending in donations in the thousands to cover the bill. Hugs Angela #4
Pleased to hear that Neet is back home. I think the daffodil fabric is my favourite. Anyone that can go out in that weather is amazing, I start feeling sick just looking at it Lol! WOYWW hugs Angela x11x
Gosh it has been stormy your way hasn't it the sea certainly looks ferocious. Adore the daffodils fabric, am on my 3rd bunch of weekly daffs from Asda already love how they brighten the kitchen windowsill. Your Bet Lynch ref made me chuckle although don't watch any soaps these days I remember when I did. Hugs Bj#1
