Callan's Porthole "My window into life on the WaterWays" February Break

Callan's Porthole "My window into life on the WaterWays"  February Break, is almost to an end and we have not really done much with the boys due to the current out break of the Coronavirus that we have in the UK.

WE have chose to keep the boys at home and to focus on home activities and home work, including reading and writing mainly.  We have been reading "The BFG", and watching the movie so that Callan can compare the two and find out more about how film adaptations can change once the words of a story come to life.

I am looking at doing the Good Read, Reading Challenge with the boys again this year.  The aim is to read at lest 1 book per term from cover to back on their own.

At the moment Callan is achieving this and even taken over the bed time reading to his brother.

Callan's Porthole "My window into life on the WaterWays"

Due to family commitments a lot of my FB pages and blogs have been on the back burner.

Due to  having to movie every two week in the boat to comply with Canal and River trust Rules we gave up on evening having our annual photo at the top of the Ashby Canal with the boys.

It was my plain to take a photo every year and keep it a tradition that they would then hopefully pass on to they family.

Now that the boys are 6, 4 and 15 months we should aim to try and do this again.

But we do have about a three year gap where no photos have really been taken at all.

But we do have about a three year gap where no photos have really been taken at all about  life on the water ways.

So we will see what happens over the summer.

VHS TAPES “NEST EGGS” FOR THE FUTURE.

I am currently going thought my old VHS TAPES that I have found and will be looking at putting them on line to sell and to convert into DVD for my own person use. Any information on them that may be useful like old News Stories or Advents I will look at posting on line.

At the moment I have come across a film Called Apt Pupil on VHS by the Cinima Club.

Origonaly it was a book by Stephen King

Apt Pupil Formats: DVD / VHS Released (US):October 23rd, 1998. High school student, Todd Bowden (played by Brad Renfro), is fascinated by Nazi Germany. He discovers that a former SS war criminal, Kurt Dussander (played by Ian McKellen) is secretly living in his home town. Todd confronts Dussander and in exchange for his silence, blackmails ...

Currently on eBay this VHS Tape is retailed at around £1.99 + Postage so at the moment I will keep it. I aim to do this with some of my belongings for my children so that they can use them as a “Nest Egg.” In the FUTURE.

At rhe moment a lot of items have lost their value due to everyone knowing how to buy and sell online and globally.

For this reason a lot of the profit it items is lost and prices of items have be turned into pennies and on longer pounds.

So why to have a look though you own items and see what is worth , keeping, selling, recycling, upcycling, donating to charity.
