I'm currently reading Narrow Dog To Carcossonne by Terry Darlington. It's a true account of a retired couple sailing their Narrowboat across the English Channel to France and down to Carcossonne. The 'Narrow Dog' of the title is Jim, their Whippet. It's a lovely story.

I've not had a lot of time to chat on the forum lately - I seem to be exceptionally busy at the moment. I run two scout groups (10-14's and 14-18's) and two sets of something we have here in England called the Duke of Edinburgh's Award (one at school and one with my 14-18's). The DofE is great fun and is excellent at developing young people by introducing them to volunteering, physical activities, learning new skills (an instrument, for example) and getting them out into the hills on expeditions (my personal favourite!).

I'm hoping that you finish your thesis soon, so you can relax with your feet up, a good book in your hand and a large glass of some excellent beverage of your choice beside you!
