Sunny Saturday...

After a lapse of a ‘few’ years, one has rejoined this club...doesn’t the pic look evil!!  ( passport one).  

It’s just tooooo hot to get started, and there’s a football match on today, which, I’m not getting all gung ho about...always expect the worst since 1996😥. But, I will get the kit out and start putting it in order, one will need hooks, weights and floats at the least...

An fun filled Easter for us....

It has been traditional for Suzie & Me to make the Easter pilgrimage to Weymouth to camp and contend with wind, rain, ice and, occasionally, sunshine...however this year it was a bit viccy verca...Claire et al came to brave the wilds of Hertfordshire and camp near us  http://www.westmillfarmcampsite.co.uk/.

A good weekend...(except for the rain...)...

Whilst the rest of Dorset cowered inside away from the rain on Saturday - we at West Bay were treated to a few lovely hours of refreshing heat...but it did catch up with us on Sunday night with a vengeance!!!

I went fishing...didn't catch anything, but the view was magnificent - 185 Million years of rock formation in front of me...

Think all had a good time, I know these did!!!

And I feel the need to embarrass these two!!!

Spent the weekend at mother's (hence no Friday stuff - no Internet)...went fishing seriously for the first time in what must be 10 years. A bit of a pilgrimage really, went to Tring on the Grand Union Canal. Earliest memories of fishing here are with dad. We used to tie the rods to our bikes and peddle the 10 or so miles there. Flask of tea and cheese sandwiches (because you could use the bread or the cheese as bait!!). Remember breaking the ice at times. A different era - there were still working canal barges around then.

Anyway - I think I found the only part of the canal that was in total shade, so when the sun came out, I was still shivering in the wind,but I caught a beautiful roach with gorgeous red fins. For warmth I moved to a place called Buckland along the Aylesbury Arm of the canal.

Warmer, but a tad noisier than I remembered it as they've built a great big by pass through the quiet fields - *****'s.

Anyway - I caught my personal best Perch in this beautiful spot...

It's early again...must be my age!! Sat watching a Fishing program on TV, been getting the itch to fish again lately and took first steps yesterday by looking at this place, which is literally a couple of fields away from us.

Just got to check out the tackle situation, i.e. get some rods and off we go!!

Anyway, today's pic is very normal - our handy work in the WAR against the cats in the courtyard crapping in our little plot.
