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.

Beagle looking for a home.

Today I only walked two dogs at Appledown Rescue Kennels http://www.appledown.co.uk/ as the first one was overweight and needed a bit more exercise, his name is......
Pius



A typical Beagle with nose to the ground so much so he got a grass seed up his nose and had a sneezing fit. He will be looked at by the vets to check all is OK.

The second dog was called....

Polly


She is a beautiful dog but very,very nervous. It makes you wonder what she has gone through to be in such a nervous state. Being very calm and talking very quietly was the only way to get her to walk on the lead and I'm sure that with some love and care she will be a very fine companion indeed.

If you would like to see more of Appledown their Facebook page is here...


Next week on my two hours out from caring it will probably be a visit to the canal to have a look at the narrowboats.
