The charity making life better by water

Meet Eliza

18 month year old Eliza by her family boat

"I am 18 months old and I love living on my boat. I live with my mummy and daddy, my two friends Barney and Betsy who are doggies, and a pussy cat called Harry. We like to go for walks along the towpath with the doggies and we feed the ducks and swans.

I have learnt that when we go outside the boat I have to put my life jacket on so I give it to mummy when I want to go and play. I have just started to learn how to blow the whistle too which is loud!

When we cruise along the canal I have a seat on top of the boat. I like it because I can sit and watch all the people walking past. I love to wave to everyone! Everyone is very friendly, they say hello and wave back."

Eliza, Weedon, Grand Union Canal
