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.

Sky Dive for Dogs.

This week I took two more dogs for a walk at Appledown Dogs Rescue Centre http://www.appledown.co.uk/ as my sitter who fills in for me as a carer was late again giving no time to visit the canal and do the shopping in the set time available.
First dog walked was....

SHUCKLE


A happy Staffi who loves his walks.

The other was.....

TORTERRA


Another Staffi who just wants a new home.

There are two young ladies from Appledown Lou and Becca who are going to do a sky dive to raise funds for a fence to enclose a small part of the field to enable the dogs to be let off their lead for training and assessment.
The pictures below show the area in question with an old fence already in place which would be no good in it's current condition.



The picture below shows the amount of sponsorship raised so far which now only needs another £500 to reached their target.


I do like their aim...


Unfortunately due to the weather conditions this year the jump has been postponed till March or April next year. More time to reach their sponsorship target I think.

Finally a picture for the narrowboaters. 


It's in Eaton Bray. Well it's the thought that counts :)
