Float to Live - useful advice in a county of lakes and rivers

Dear Blogger

The next couple of days are going to be super hot with the Met office putting out an Amber Warning for our part of the country.and we live in a county of rivers and lakes - even the River Perry has weed which van be scary if wrapped round you legs.

Please make sure your young ones understand that jumping into a river, or the sea on a hot day or evening, is not a good idea - the water will be flipping cold compared to the pub garden!

RNLI data shows IN 2024 THERE WERE 193 ACCIDENTAL DROWNING DEATHS IN THE UK

OF ALL THOSE DROWNING DEATHS, 84% WERE MALE, AND MORE  20 to 29-YEAR OLDS DIED THAN ANY OTHER AGE GROUP.

The following advice from the RNLI still works, even if your are fully dressed - see attached picture.

The RNLI has has launched a campaign to save lives  in this hot weather: 

A simple technique everyone can learn could save your life in water. 

Urging people who get into difficulty to tilt their head back, relax, and float like a starfish until help arrives. Floating gives people a chance to rest and recover their breathing.

Emmie Seward Adams, of the RNLI water safety delivery support team, said: "Instinctively, most people who find themselves struggling in the water will begin to panic, swim or thrash about. We're urging people to ignore this instinct and remember to float."

Anyone spotting someone in difficulty in the water is urged to:

          Phone 999 to get help

• Tell the person to stay calm and float on their back

• Throw rescue equipment to help them float until emergency services arrive

Make sure everyone knows the RNLI`s advice of Float to Live - you never know when it might come in useful.

Brownhill House Garden as experienced by a recent visitor

Dear Blogger

Many thanks for an embarrassingly generous message from a recent garden visitor

Firstly a huge thank you for allowing us to visit your garden.   
We did so enjoy our visit on Friday and wish we had done this before. Brownhill House is a unique 

and inspirational garden which plunges almost vertically 50 ft. into a valley. It demonstrates that with imagination 

and a lot of hard work what can be achieved on an impossibly difficult site.

Yoland and Roger have created this amazing garden full of unusual and beautiful plants and around every corner are 

little surprises - You must go and look for yourself.

PLEASE SHUT THE GATE between the Bridge Field & the road

Dear Blogger

Message from Trish Allan, Bridge Field

PLEASE SHUT THE GATE!

 Please be sure they have closed the pedestrian gate between Bridge Field and the road.

This morning it was open yet again, for the fourth time in about 10 days.

The latch isn’t quite catching, but it will close properly - just needs checking that the latch has caught.

Loose dogs and children are at risk of escaping.

..................

We all know about the infuriating traffic on the road through the village, from huge hgvs to Go Faster lads, not to mention a narrow bridge over the river Perry

So, PLEASE heed Trish`s request.
