Far from the sea, but close to the heart
The town of Weedon in Northamptonshire was the home of a great fort built by one of the Kings George about 200 years ago as a last retreat against the invading French, and that location was chosen because it's further from the sea than any other place in England.
I wasn't too many miles from Weedon last week, training at a company where they have a "dress down" day once a month, and collect money from employees for local charities for the privilege of dressing down. Noble action, noble intent. Our talk turned to what constitutes a local charity, and we had a chuckle that one of their charities a couple of month ago was the RNLI - the Royal National Lifeboat Institution .... when they're so far from the sea! And yet, the RNLI is an organisation that, I believe, receives no government funding and does such good works. Far from the sea, but close to the heart.
