A Desolate Wasteland

1 April, 2015 by Alistair

I am getting my shit together in preparation for this season. I don’t yet feel that I am in a position to get out there and start fishing again yet. Sure some people have been catching fish but after a brief week or so of mild weather we have been plunged back in to winter…

January Springwatch

3 January, 20154 January, 2015 by Alistair

Never let it be said I am not an optimist however I was playing in the garden with the boys today and experienced two signs of Spring. My youngest called me over to the first. I had to peer through my Winter fog brain however I noticed some more sprouting up elsewhere in the garden….

Different strokes

27 October, 201427 October, 2014 by Alistair

I have been laying off encouraging the oldest boy coming fishing with me. I have pals with kids in their twenties who do not fish and I always wonder why. Their dads (my pals) tell me they encouraged them when younger however they just drifted away from it. I wonder if they encouraged them too…

Before the rain…

25 May, 2014 by Alistair

Shaking off the cobwebs!

18 March, 2014 by Alistair

It has been an interesting couple of months, I find myself thinking remarkable un-urban thoughts such as where can I get firewood and don’t the stars look nice without their usual haze of urban street lighting.
