I have had Rufus now for exactly 1 year and he is pure delight to have around. He is a trained assistance dog who picks things up off the floor if dropped,when he wants a treat he picks up the TV remote or the newspaper off the table and gives it to me. Such a clever dog who is loved to bits.
A Merry Christmas to everyone and would love to meet up with some of you on the cut in the next year, that’s if Rufus lets me.
This week it was too wet to walk the dogs at http://www.appledown.co.uk/ so went over over to Marsworth and took a couple of photos as well as talking to the owner of Narrowboat Willow Too which is a Beacon built boat and was featured on the cover of Canal Boat magazine last year. Stupidly with all the talking I forgot to take a picture so enclose a picture of it featuring on the front cover of Canal Boat.
As you probably know by now I am a full time carer for my mother and get four hours a week to myself while a sitter looks after her.
During this time I get to do the weeks shopping and walk the dogs at http://www.appledown.co.uk/ . I always try and get some pictures of the dogs I walk in the hope someone will see a dog they think they could look after and also support a good cause in the process. So here are the latest three I walked this week If you would like to know more about the dogs please visit Appledowns web site and give them a ring, they would love to hear from you.
I am now thinking of getting a video camera to record my walks along the towpath and upload them to You tube so watch this space.
Remembering my Grandfathers brother who was killed at Passiondale.
To all those who gave their lives for our freedom.
This week was too hot to walk the dogs at www.appledown.co.uk/ so went down to Marsworth to see the sights.
In the car park was a rather nice Suzuki M800 Intruder…
Look at all that chrome to polish, puts my old Bonniville that I used to own to shame.
There were plenty of trip boats doing a roaring trade along the cut..
Walking along the towpath I recognised Wide Beam Still Rockin’ from their blog http://wbstillrockin.blogspot.co.uk/ and hoped somebody would be aboard to say hello.
As luck would have it Carol was aboard…
while husband George was away on family matters.
We had a chat as you do and wished them all well on their beautiful
wide beam.
Lovely to have met you Carol.
