It’s not a new buoy, it’s a girl at Conwy RNLI!

In true Conwy RNLI tradition, Ayla was photographed in her Dad’s RNLI safety helmet at the lifeboat station as pictured.

Leon said: “Hannah and I couldn’t be happier following the birth. The support we have received from all at Conwy RNLI is fantastic. Family is very important to us volunteers, as no matter what time of the day or night our pagers sound, they support us in our roles. Although now it’s not only my pager that wakes me up in the middle of the night!”
