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.

Make a homeless dog smile for Christmas and beyond.

 
As our thoughts turn to family and friends at this time of year there are other good causes to try and help.With my help in walking the homeless dogs at Appledown Rescue Centre,
 
 
I see the good work and the cost involved in looking after and re homing the lost and unloved dogs in the area. Appledown are constantly looking for funds for the upkeep of the kennels and health of the dogs which in turn leads to the successful re-homing of 400 to 500 animals a year. Dogs are brought in by the local dog warden at all times of the day and night which entails somebody to be available to look after them.
 
We now have a new means of giving help to this worthwhile cause and if you are a dog lover I'm sure that you would feel this is a good way to help even though you may live many miles away and would like to help in some way.
In these times of austerity any small amount would be gratefully received and using this method makes giving so easy.
 
If you have been following my blog over the year you will have seen the pictures of some dogs I have walked and this one always raises a smile. If you can, bring a smile to the other dogs and help find them a home.
