Dog Blog: It is a tough life

When Sue goes gallivanting off to London being famous (not really), dogs have to go into the office.

It’s tough. First there is the mandatory sausage sandwich in the morning. Then they have to climb the stairs and get down to serious work.

Boat blog: Weekend without us – photoblog

Cousin Denise has kindly sent on some photos from her weekend on the boat. They enjoyed using her as a base but son Rhodri says that they’ll do a ‘proper’ boating holiday next time and do some cruising every day! He’s almost tall enough to steer and almost strong enough to do the locks so it won’t be long…….

Friday: The boat does fit through that bridge - honest!

Friday: Plenty of room, though you might need to duck!

Friday: What's down here then? Exploring the sunken towpath at Wootton Wawen

Friday: Peering over the edge - there's some big trucks down there; apparently they hit the aqueduct from time to time but it's still standing!

Friday: Running back to the boat - no hurry, you'll soon catch up....

Friday: Wyn's perfect lock entry....

Friday: The grass is always greener - sheep peering over to the towpath side....

Friday: Just beautiful.....
