I expect a call from my mom at any moment
There are certain things you just don’t tell your mom you are going to do until after you do them. Sky-diving, bungee jumping, leaping from roof to roof of skyscrapers, fire-eating while wrestling alligators. Those kinds of things.
I didn’t get THAT adventurous this weekend, but considering my mom’s slightly heightened state of anxiety about now having one more person to worry about (did I mention I’m very excited to be an aunt now?!), I decided not to mention that I was going abseiling over the cliffs at Botany Bay this weekend.
I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to go on a cliff rescue simulation with the coastguard this weekend. It’s one of the perks of being a coastal warden with the Thanet Coast Project. It was very fun and very informative. Those guys are way cool!

I am so jealous. That looks like a blast… I might have peed my pants, but so cool.

Dragging that guy 60 feet back up the cliff….I was impressed!!!!!!

I am so so glad you did not tell me about this ahead of time!!! Now I can laugh and be glad I raised a fearless daughter. Before hand I’d have been sleepless, speechless, and scared!!!!
