It is my birthday this Wednesday and I shall be over a hundred years old (late thirties with two young kids). After my post last week when I posted my wee batch of flies Marcel Karssies through Facebook said he would send me a few in the post – what arrived was a huge goody […] Angler Theo Pike talks about fishing for trout in city rivers, plus travel writer Alison Rice looks at fitness holidays, and hear from Mrs Brown’s Boys star Brendan O’Carroll. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01dtpjm Listen in for a special surprise!

It has […] A quick thanks to everyone who has sent me congratulations via the comments or email – I have hardly had a chance to get on the computer never mind make a post or join in the forum banter. I had this dream that I may manage a few days off trout fishing while I am […] |
