Like an early birthday present…
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 bag…

Kids and the Kelvin – its lookin’ Grrrrrrrrrrreat!
I thought I would check in to see how the Kids and the Kelvin project is doing over at there site. Quite frankly I think it looks great fun – he has somehow managed to convince the Teachers that keeping a hatchery in the classroom and then releasing the fish into feeder streams is a…
