After much soul searching, Hubs and I made the decision recently to sell our narrowboat as we were not using it very much and it’s far too small for the dogs, especially Sam. Well, we put it up for sale a few days ago and now a chap is coming to see it on Saturday….and …

Sam is now eighteen months old and we’ve had him for fourteen months. How time flies eh??? As many of you will know, we got Sam from the rescue and he and his siblings had been bred for one purpose, to be torn apart by pit bulls in training. In four short months, Sam had …
A few days ago something underneath my clapped out old car fell off, so it’s back in the garage where hopefully it will be rejuvenated….for the umpteenth time! It’s an old VW and despite roaring along and shuddering like a tank, it’s usually really reliable. So, unless I want to be housebound for a week, …
Now that the days are beginning to warm up a little I’ve finally put Holly the hedgehog out in Herbie’s hutch to harden off and climatise to the big wild world again. When I found her last November she weighed 487 grams which was far too small to hibernate. She now weighs in at ……drum …
It’s been a busy old week all round. Chicks are beginning to arrive at the rescue but there’s still no sign of the renovations completing so lots of rushing about and dashing around like a headless chicken there! This little collared dove chick came in recently, they make excellent patients as they’re so placid, calm …
Last year was one of the wettest years on record and most of my fruit and veg was ruined. This year I’m hoping and praying for better weather, but so far there’s little sign of improvement as it’s still constantly raining or snowing and it’s freezing, and I mean perishingly cold which makes it hard …
Each time we go away on holiday, our wonderful next door neighbour, Barbara, feeds the Curly cat for us. Twice a day she comes out, whatever the weather, and her only reward for this kind deed is to be hissed and spat at. This has been the case for years, but yesterday Curly finally decided …
Around this time of the year I begin to suffer from cabin fever….the dark nights, the endless wind and rain and the freezing cold make me CRAVE a little sunshine. I mean…what IS a blue sky??? I find myself googling things like weekend getaways, cheap city breaks etc etc etc….but then I think of the hassle …
Each year in Liverpool the Chinese community host a celebration for the Chinese New Year in Chinatown which is home to the oldest Chinese community in Europe The arch located at the gateway of Chinatown is also the biggest, multiple-span arch of its kind outside of China, and it’s estimated that 2% of Liverpool’s population are …
After all the snow we’ve had, followed by hail, torrential rain and gale force winds, I decided not to put Holly the hedgehog out to harden off in the rabbit hutch, even though she is now a wonderfully plump hog. She’s probably wondering where her waistline went! I need to take Herbie, the special needs …
