Kite surfer in need of rescue
Jul 5th
Today on the beach at Huttoft, Lincolnshire. A kite surfer needed to be rescued as he started to drift further and further up the coast and was unable to get himself closer to shore.
The incident start at about 12.30pm when the the unknown Kite surfer got into the water with an easterly wind. The first we saw of him was the kite well out to sea, further out than the jet skiers. At this time we thought he was just messing about couldn’t see that he was in any kind of trouble. About 15 -20 minutes passed and we just noticed him being pulled northward up the coast towards, Sutton on sea and Mablethorpe. That’s when we saw the RNLI Rescue boat speed down the coast and the distant sounds of the sirens of the coastguards emergency vehicles racing to the scene.
The RNLI did a great job getting him safely back to shore.
Come on! cut the hedge.
Jun 26th
The hedge is about 10-12ft high
It’s time to take action but I have tried the council and don’t know how to proceed. Over the last few years it has been increasingly difficult to get my neighbours to cut the hedge, I’m not about to start going around and cutting it myself as I used to for the old neighbours (they were single women with young children), especially as these neighbours are more able to cut the hedge as there a 3 able bodied residence living there.
There are other difficulties too the whole of the garden is a total mess, the grass is over 6ft high, there is rubbish at the back of the garden from the house when they had a clear out.
The Grass and weeds are as high as the 6ft fence
The main resident of the house goes out until 12 – 1am and coming in and then starts to wash the pots, which are clanking around in a bowless sink, and then when she puts them away she makes no effort to quietly close cupboard doors. I know it’s not a lot of noise but its enough to wake you up and break your sleep. We have talked to the neighbours about it, but trying to get it to sink in, well all I can say is “short planks and PHC” lol
All this got reported to the council, who told use to fill in the neighbour nuisance diary, which we did over a couple of months, handed in, but noting ever come of it.
While I’m having a moan about the council I have also tried over the past 5 years to get an illegal drain reported, I have tried to get in touch with environment health about a rain runoff drain situated 3 feet in front of my front door, which keep getting blocked with toilet paper and bodily waste (yes the brown lumps). Â I know it’s an illegal because the sewerage maybe going into the wrong drainage system. Every time I try to speak to someone a environment health, they say it’s a housing problem and who just send a team out to temporarily unblock the stinky drain.
Another garden mess in the street that the council need to be doing something about is found via the Lincolnshire Echo’s website
Lincoln city council need to get its finger out
Forest of Ivy, my natural patch
Jun 23rd
In my garden I have a small patch in the back that is for the wild life, its surrounded by trees and full of weeds, wild flowers and lots of ivy. Lazy git, I here you cry and you’d be right 
. well nearly, I could sort it out like the rest of the garden, but I really do like the natural looks of it.
