That was nice :)

What a lovely surprise to be invited to the Chair of the Council "Civic Service " to celebrate voluntary work in our community.
I took on voluntary role of Foot Path Warden 2 years ago after seeing the post advertised in our local press.Honey was a young dog with lots of energy so we were out on lots of daily walks any way and I thought why not make use of it and do some constructive routes, we both get so much out of it.We regularly walk Public Foot Paths and Bridleways and report back any problems such as broken stiles or hedges which need cutting back etc anything which obstructes the right of passage
In the last year I have devised some circular walks in our area incuding public footpaths and bridleways, with a lot of local interest and with the financial help of the local parish council I have put the walks into a folder and distrbuted them into 15 local pubs and cafes to give visitors to our village information and to encourage local residents to explore thier area.
It was lovely to have public recognition for my work which I have thoughly loved doing.

Happy 3rd Birthday ...:)

Well first of all I must say I can not believe I have not posted anything since May !!!! I can not believe it has been sooooo long :) But we have been very busy with the unexpected sale of our house.We always thought we would down size in the next few years but a property came on the market that took our eye so we decided to put ours on the market.I am a great believer in "What will be will be " and fate , and cutting a long story short we sold fairly quickly and managed to buy the house we were taken by.It is in a lovely position on the side of a canal , we have great neighbours who come to the banks and tease Honey

                                                       

                                                            meet the neighbours


 and Im sure there will be narrow boat trips to report in the near future.

We have lots of new foot paths to explore and are making friends with all the local dog walkers who are very taken with Honey.

                                But for today we wish Honey a great 3rd birthday xx
