Right now I am stuck in the snow! Update: It took me around 4 hours to get home from work.
Kelvin Angling Association EGM
So it is only a couple of days until the crazy kids that make up the river Kelvin angling fraternity meet up once more to discuss the parentage of the committee! I wonder what will happen this year – shock accusations, heartening confessions, threats of handbags at dawn – I think we have had them…
