Air - Sea Rescue

St Ives Cornwall UK 2006.

Ello ello ello wots goin on ere then??

We learn that a chappie, while strolling, with his wife on their way down to the beach, decided to climb down the cliff to the beach.

Well! of course you have guessed - He falls off the cliff.

Better get the Air Sea Rescue chopper here then.

Here we see the Rescue chappie being lowered down to see whats what.

While we wait to see whats happening - lets have a closer look at the Chopper.

Ah, The Rescue chappie relays a message for a stretcher to be lowered down

We have lift off, the stretcher with the fella on who fell and the Rescue chappie being winched up to the Chopper.

We did learn the next day that the chappie who fell was not too badly hurt, just a broken arm,bruises, and shook-up.

We also heard that(may not be true)the chappie's wife had said "he will have more than a broken arm -when he gets home".

Who's the Highway Blogger??

Dorothy's History Lesson on Grantham (2)

1st of all Dorothy wanted to stop off at the Grey Bears Love Meeting

Now we stop off at St Wulframs Church, Grantham.

Click here for the History of the church.

6th highest spire in the UK.

Dorothy just sits in awe, as she has never seen anything as old as this before.

(or that she can remember she says.lol)

Dorothy whispers to me, that those beautiful windows are incredable and sighs " I could sit here ALL day and soak in all this history "

More of Dorothy to follow later.
