About Me

My photo
At the moment I am caring full time for a family member and when the time comes I will be selling up and living on a narrowboat.I enjoy reading,especially about those living on narrowboats and their daily lives.The tug Nb Resolute in the above picture is NOT mine but is owned by Dave Moore and is something I would aspire to own one day although I am going to look at many boats before I make a decision on the style and interior.Tugs are looking good at the moment but have yet to look around one. My interest in narrowboats started some 47 years ago. As a lad I cycled from Luton to bridge 111 on the G.U.by the Globe to fish and watch the Morton and Clayton boats go by,full of coal with a family on board and always wondered how they kept their balance on the planks that ran above the coal and why the the dogs didnt jump in the canal.That fascination has stayed with me so when I am able I will be there on my narrowboat joining in the great community of boat owners.

Walking the Dogs and Visiting the Canal

Weather wise it was a nothing day....no sun, no wind, no rain, not hot, not cold so a perfect day to walk the dogs at http://www.appledown.co.uk/  . First on the list is....

Toby

Toby is good with children and house trained, a typical Spaniel full of go, he was left at a kennels while his owners went on holiday and was never collected.Why owners are not honest and say they can't cope I don't know, a lovely dog looking for a good home.
Next was

Tiffany

Tiffany loves her walks,with a few tit bits in my pocket she stops pulling on the lead and I get her full attention. She has a bit of a cough but is nothing to worry about as this can soon be corrected.

For the second time I find I am walking
Sparkle

I walked Sparkle over a month ago so she is still waiting for a good owner. On the way round on her walk something must have worried her as she refused to move halfway round, I think the dogs being trained in the centre ring must have spooked her but a tit bit and encouragement got her going again.

I find using my small camera to try and take pictures of the dogs is a nightmare, hanging on with one hand to the lead and with the other getting the dog in focus and composing the shot.When I get time I will use my big camera with somebody else leading the dog which would be much better.

After my exercise I drove to http://www.canalholidays.co.uk/ on the Grand Union Canal but being a dull day it was not much good for pictures so this is all I managed before I had to get back home.

Next week I'll be in caring mode due to the sitters holiday so no outing for me that week.
