Never let it be said Rusty Usky missed a rusty opportunity....

Have a little think and see how many uses you can list for teasels.

Yesterday evening I posted this image on the Photography Group blog and mentioned SARA.

The Severn Area Rescue Association (SARA) is an Inshore Rescue boat and Land Search organisation covering the Severn Estuary and upper reaches of the River Severn.

SARA is the largest independent lifeboat service in the UK, second only to the RNLI, with 8 operational boats and approximately 150 personnel.

For more information, please visit the SARA web site.

What rabid minded fool decreed poor Usky should be wide awake at three in the morning...
