Being that i live right near the Rye fisheries, I know and have seen first hand that the fishermen go out in all manner of inclement weather and generally brave the elements, to put a fishy on our plate.
As far as i'm concerned i don't think about, or appreciate the lengths they go to nearly enough really. Do you?
Let us not forget the brave work of the RNLI and all the other lifeboat institutions, not forgetting The Royal Navy and their stirling work either.
It would be nice if we could all listen to this and just spare a thought for all those brave men and women, past and present, who give and have given their lives in service to their country and its people and all the other sea-faring folk who work relentlessly day in day out, sometimes in the most hazardous of conditions.
Please don't think me too mawkish or sentimental.
I think we should listen to this lovely hymn to inspire us to spare a few thoughts for these courageous people.
Actually what has prompted all this talk so far, aside from my thinking about the fisherman of late, is that i have an exciting project to tell you about shortly.
It is the brainchild of a lovely friend and colleague and i have to say i was very moved when she recounted the story behind its conception to me. It really struck a chord and basically i take my hat off to her for her hard work and really for just giving a damn and having the mettle to do something about it.
All will be revealed toot sweet!
