A BOAT FOR MY POTPLANTS, AND SOME MUSIC FOR MY BOAT: Cutest Canine Competition

A Boat For My Potplants

Welcome to my blog. The boat has taken on a life of its own and is of course the central character in the plot. Add a dash of Wivenhoe - that most wonderful coastal Essex place that some describe as 'a small drinking village with a large fishing problem'. An extra splash of some local characters brings the recipe to the boil. I hope you enjoy the concoction - and feel welcome to join as a 'follower', post comments and suggestions.

After all, I need as many tips as I can muster, whether it be with boat renovation, nautical manouvering, radio dj-ing, or simply looking after the potplants.

Cutest Canine Competition

I can't believe this is happening!

I put some pics of the various doggies who had all been welcomed aboard my Boat For My Potplants. With my brain suffering from the effects of too much Christmas mulled wine, I had an idea to see if anyone else had some relevant pooch-on-boat photos.

So I enlisted the help from the wonderful Norfolk Broads website, being that my boat once resided in that beautiful location back in the '70s.

When I accepted the challenge of doing up an old boat, I never envisaged that one day I'd be judging my very own Cutest Canine Competition - especially as I'm not particularly a dog lover (or perhaps I am, and always have been, without realising it).

Anyway, enough of all that, and on with the show. A sort of Crufts Of The Waterways.

The trouble is - I can't decide on the winner just yet - they're all so cute. So out of all the entries, here are my Favourite Five, in no particular order.

You can email me, or post a comment with YOUR favourite from the shortlist below, so that I can award First Prize to the most popular.
