With my love of the canals and following on from last week’s visit to Anderton Boat lift, we ventured to Middlewich to their Folk and Boats festival. We went on the Friday as we felt it would be too busy with children, who are Buddy’s pet hate, and also the boats would be arriving and setting up. We weren’t let down.
Even though the weather was cloudy, the rain kept off and it was pleasant. The Folk music element is run in the main in the centre off the town, and it could be heard from the banks of the canal. I’m sure visitors over the weekend will have a very enjoyable time. Some of the boats were decorated and we met some of the trading boats from last week who had told us of this festival.
Whilst at the festival, it also helped us to spread even further the Find Izzy campaign for some lovely Cockerpoo owners in Bury, whose loving pet sadly ran off from their home after builders unwittingly opened the door and she made a bolt for it. We have been able to drive around with magnets highlighting their loss and contact numbers as well as hand ot leaflets to dog walkers and local pubs, (good job there were so many in Middlewich!) as well as some new traders on barges on the canal. I know some people think that we may well resign ourselves to a loss, but you do hear so many other tales of pets being found after a lengthy period of time. We will not give up and will continue to help them find her.
Facebook page is Find Izzy if you could read it and keep your eyes on the lookout as she could be anywhere. #FindIzzy.
