How come suddenly loads of bams in Scotland think they can go fishing because Boris is suddenly their Westminster master. He also said they should all go back to work but I’m not seeing a big rush to obey that little command.
This is totally shite!
What feels like an age ago and was in fact only a month or so ago life was fairly normal. Ever the optimist I was filling my trout box and sorting out my loch gear – I had tied a lot of fun wee spiky things and also collected loads of nymphs which were sure…
