Narrowboat Star

Wednesday, 7 October 2009

It's a (sea)dog's life


Brian munches away on a sizeable bone courtesy of Lymm's excellent butcher.


This made up for a second immersion in the cut when he fell in at Manchester - again due to rather over-optimistic judging of the distance between boat and bank.
He's rather taken to life on board - except for the cold mornings - and enjoys something of the status of minor celebrity on the bankside, putting on an endearingly lovable face for all passers' by. Even policemen (in Liverpool and Manchester) have stopped to give him a pat.

Have spent a lifetime lashing about in fast cars for a living am now piloting a 4mph narrowboat instead. Pottering round the canals with Harrywoman and battling with the 3G internet to blog and write.
