This is a wonderful example of what can be done with local enthusiasm and dedication of the proud people of Seaham. The full story of the George Elmy lifeboat is shown on information boards, next to the fully restored lifeboat - well worth a visit. Yesterday it was outside and looking very grand in the sunlight.

My friend and I had a wonderful morning learning how to drill seaglass with Gavin at Seaham Waves. We not only learned a new skill but came home with a beautiful pendant we had made. I would highly recommend this shop, Gavin is friendly and a very good teacher. Thank you for a lovely morning creating jewellery from beautiful seaglass.
