Rain on your parade

We just got away with it yesterday. On what is normally a fabulously sunny day in Swanage, the weather for the Carnival Day Parade was actually pretty dreary yesterday. Still, everyone turned out just the same, and there was a very strong showing from the lifeboat contingent.

Charlotte was mischievous as ever and (encouraged by Deasy of course) decided to climb into the collecting flag!

The kids did a great job of flying the flag and collecting the pennies in the ILB.

For once the crew were pleased to be wearing yellows!


I’m gonna rain on your parade.
No, I won’t take it again.
And I’ll keep raining, raining, raining over you.
(Duffy - Rain on your Parade)
