I know this has nothing to do with Travelling with pets but the benefits of microchipping your pets was made very obvious to my son Andrew today.

To all GNs who may be adversely affected by the current rain and or floods we hope than you can stay safe and dry. So many have family in the affected areas that they must be worried for them. Fingers crossed that that the drought has broken for farming families, without too much heartache.

Preliminary notice that up to 40mm of rain is being predicted thru the area from tonight. Sat 4/9. Anything over 25mm will make it unsuitable to get in, as it has just dried out from 105mm received over last 3 weeks. This quantity of rainfall will also bring another plague of mosquitoes as happened ear...

Hiya All, I always get such great advice on this forum so here I go again, seeking your input for a brake question. I'm not very mechanically minded so please excuse me if my questions sounds a bit dumb My van is older (1988 Windsor) and the guy who owned it took off the hydraulic brakes (don't ask me why?...

Inner Peace Some doctor on the TV this morning said that the way to achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you have started. So I looked around my house to see things I'd started and hadn't finished and, before leaving the house this morning, I finished off a bottle of Merlot, a bottle of s...
