Around a month ago, it feels like ages now, deciding on [...] Hiya, I have actually been doing some fishing but unfortunetly there has been a major clash of the titans between work and my intense fly fishing addiction.

A mixture of dizzying heights and disastrous lows leaving me with a day off work and a limp – oh I have torn my breathable waders in a few places as well. The Story Strangely the plan for both days was to hit the White [...] Yegads, I came runner up in the Metro Blog Awards Congratulations to Caught Offside who targets those who love football and indulging in everything that goes along with following it.
