About The Author

I have had Heather, my labradoodle since January 1996 when she was about 16 weeks old. I set up this page as I thought that the labradoodle was a lovely breed of dog and because Heather deserved a page and also, I felt there were not enough webpages about labradoodles in Britain and that they should have a little more recognition. On this page, you can click on peoples names and topics to take you to a favourite webpage that is relevent to them. You can also read more about the family and see pictures at our Residential Care Home called Highfield House.

Thorpe ...On Sport Villeneuve
I enjoy watching most sports. I have a favourite star in most. I have been a Manchester United fan for 13 years. I am not from Manchester (which wouldn't surprise a lot of football fans) but admired the brilliance of Bryan Robson during his years there, thus begining my support of them. Eric Cantona was also a personal favourite. You can visit the Manchester United website here.

My other favourite sports personalities include the Australian gold medal winner in swimming, Ian Thorpe.

I also enjoy watching Formula 1 racing  and have been to the British Grand Prix at Silverstone a few times, admiring the talent and fearlessness of Jacques Villeneuve, the World Drivers Champion of 1997. You can visit the ITV F1 website here.

Other sports of interest to me are cricket, especially the Ashes, tennis, and a little figure skating. With all of these sports, I pretty much have something to watch all year.


De Niro ...On Films Reservoir Dogs
Off the subject of sport, I love watching films. My most favourite films at the moment are the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. Some people would say I am a little too obsessed with them.  Some of my other favourites are Reservoir Dogs, Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Star Wars, Jaws, Fort Apache The Bronx, The Usual Suspects, and The Green Mile. The list is endless. I enjoy most genre of film and I am in the process of collecting films starring my favourite actor, Robert De Niro.


Turin Brakes ...On Music Beck
I enjoy listening to music. Turin Brakes is my favourite group. I also listen to Madonna and Beck . I have been to a Beck gig and have also seen him perform at the V97 festival. I was the one at the front who had her face kicked by a crowd surfer! I listen to chart music also, but find it sometimes tedious when there are so many boy bands in the top ten.


Buffy ...On Television The X Files
I like to watch a lot of science-fiction. I have watched just about all of the X-Files since about the fourth episode of the first series when it originally aired. I also watch Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Angel and in contrast, The Simpsons, ER and more recently, Without A Trace.


So, there we are. Thanks for reading down this far. There are a few other interests I could mention like my love for travel and camping but feel I have written enough already. Thanks for reading all the way to the bottom of the page.
