Read excerpt
Two police forces have teamed up to form a dog team tasked with identifying people involved in spiking.

"I really love shopping second hand... there's a lot of textiles and a lot of waste already out in the world."

The Canal and River Trust estimates that as many as a third of the 35,000 boats on England's waterways are occupied as permanent homes. Among those water dwellers is Wayne, who lives on his boat - permanently moored on the Oxford Canal - with his baby daughter, Elinor. At certain points this summer, he says the internal temperature on his 60ft (18 m) lon

But when he took a paddleboard out to sea he got into difficulty and had to be rescued. The 65-year-old, from Carterton, Oxfordshire, is now one of many swimmers taking lessons later in life. "I inevitably fell off the board and couldn't get back on," he recalls. "[I was] farther away from the shore than I wanted to
