This page is full of various items, such as hobbies, software, and interesting web sites found to date.
We have two children, both now grown up, and four wonderful grandchildren. But we decided to take any pictures off the Internet, which is a shame, but probably for the best.
We
couldn't possibly have a web site without a mention of our dogs. We
had GSD's for 37 years and consider them gentle, affectionate, loyal
and intelligent. Lucy, who reached 13 could however be a real
pain when she met a dog she didn't know. She made a terrible show of
barking and aggression, but usually backed away if challenged. We
tried everything, but could not get her to be sociable with her own
kind, although she was great with people, and especially children.
Her own unique speciality was that when we went for walks she picked
up and carried two stones in her mouth at the same time. See the
picture with the smaller stone above the large one!!
Lucy was short haired and jet black, thus the name Black Lucy Fur!
Sadly, Lucy left this world on 31st March 2008. We miss her.
But now we have a Labradoodle
But good news, we collected our new puppy Maisy, on 2nd November 2008.maisymay
The picture below is Amy, our previous long-haired GSD, who had no faults whatsoever.

Hobbies
We
have a number of interests, including walking the local New Forest
near where we live. Link
to Forest Scenes. Penny is keen on
garden and house design, art and wild-life. John likes photography
and takes video films of family, weddings and holidays. We are keen
on travel, but this is a luxury.
web page 5.0 Construction Kit, program Web Express 3.0, to create our own web pages. As it cost less than £25, it was terrific value. It was fairly straight-forward, and we are pleased with the results. All pages on this site are created in Web Express. Link to www.mvd.com This has an excellent problems forum and enables the novice to pick up some great ideas. My site is updated most days, usually with Thought of the Day, but also with little subtle changes and hopefully improvements. If you are thinking of developing your own site, then I thoroughly recommend Web Express, now available in version 4.
www.andyrouse.co.uk
exhibits breathtaking photos of wild-life, like this tiger in the snow.
Andy Rouse is a professional photographer, with a TV series on
Channel 5. He seems to be a really great guy as well, with a warped
sense of humour - he supports West Ham! Penny found this site from a
birthday card picture of a Grizzly Bear. A wide range of subjects,
including polar bears, hares, owls and elephants.
www.george.shilling.com is the handywork of my cousin George, who is in the music business. This site also gives a number of pictures of our family history. Thanks also to George for support and help in the early development of our site.
www.pagesbyjustme.com is a site run by Laura, containing Pool and Lake Menu Applets, and I have used some of these effects on this site, thanks to her help and encouragement. She has many great pictures, enhanced by the Pool and Lake effects.
