Mum says that the past year has been rubbish. We have managed some small trips out on NB Jennyanydots but not a big adventure anywhere. Without Mummy Liz we wouldn't have managed anything much. So, big thank you Liz. Paws crossed that we can sort something out for 2014.

Mum, dad, Toby and me have come to the boat for a few days. I don't really understand what is going on?  My people are busy doing something they call winterising and are talking about making Jennyanydots ok for the Spring.

Mum seems very pleased with all the boats which have pretty lights on them.  She has tried to take photos but says that they are all blurred.

Mum says that in 2014 I have got to keep this blog up to date.

Happy Christmas everyone. Woofs and wags.

Before we left the marina to go home we walked round to the shop so that Lydia could buy an ice cream.  On the way Spud the cat was teasing me again.  He hides in the grass.  I can smell him and I can hear him but mum won't let me chase him.  It's not fair.

We also walked all the way round the marina so that we could say goodbye to the swan family.

We had a lovely few days with Jennyanydots.  Lydia says she wants to stay for a hundred sleeps!

What a waste of a sunny morning.  I don't understand people sometimes.  Instead of going out and having fun mum and Lydia put loads of mats and stuff out on the pontoon and then they brushed and hoovered the floor.  I was not a happy dog.  After lunch we all got in the car and went to Fradley Junction because Lydia loves it there.  As soon as we got out of the car and walked round to the brass rubbing place it started to pour with rain again.  We waited for a while in the swan house but then mum got fed up and made us get back in the car to go back to the marina.

In the evening the sun came out again and Lydia and I played pulling up water weeds and dragging them along the pontoon onto the grass.  That was good fun except that Rosie Teddy fell in a puddle and got a very muddy foot.




waterweeds are really good fun

It poured down with rain all day.  It was so boring because we all stayed on the boat most of the day.  In the evening I had a huge fight with Bingo, the Collie.  Our people didn't know what had started it but we were arguing about who was the boss dog.

Me and Lydia and the car are nearly floating away in one of the huge puddles

Mum and I spent the morning being P.A.T. dogs then collected Lydia from Nursery. We arrived at Kings Bromley before 3.00 pm and it was lovely and warm and sunny. We had a lovely time with Lydia showing Rosie Teddy round the marina. Lydia got even muddier than me jumping in muddy puddles while mum talked to the people on board NB No Direction. By the time it was bedtime Lydia had already used up two changes of clothes.

I was a bit worried all morning because the people were packing bags again and I didn't know what was happening.  Mum finally dried out the water in the bilges using my dog towels.  After lunch we said goodbye to Jennyanydots and to the swan family and set off to go back home.

Goodbye Swan family.  Goodbye Kings Bromley Marina

Mum was very happy because she had had such a lovely time.  Thank you Liz for coming out with us.

There was some warmish sun today and more boats were moving.  Before we set off mum and Liz cleared the grease from around the greaser and the bilge pump and got it working properly again. 

A party of primary school children out on a trip

Mum said it was very good to see primary school children out on the towpath.. It was by Alvechurch Marina.  There is so much for children to see and learn about.

We stopped at Hopwas School Bridge for lunch.  We finally got back to the marina about 7.00 p.m.  It would have been earlier but a Black Prince boat seemed to take for ever to turn round at Fradley Junction and then we were in a queue for the last locks.  I was so excited to be back at Kings Bromley because for the first time for ages I knew where I was.
