"Bournville 5" and “Search and Rescue”

I rewrote, edited, and submitted "Bournville 5" to the editor of "Waterways World" this morning along with three archive photographs. It's the story of my Grandfather George Wiseman who operated a horse-drawn narrowboat for Cadbury in the 1920s.


This afternoon, I've been researching material for my article "Search and Rescue" which is a 1,200 word article on search and rescue dogs for "Dogs Today" magazine.
