Happy anniversary Alli
I'm at Raglan, (lovely coastal village where my parents have a batch). The best part about here (apart from being a stones throw from the water) is, no tv, no internet, no phone and barely any cell phone reception. Txt message works, but not calls. Ahh bliss. I have one bar showing, so hopefully this sends ok.
I took oliver out in the dinghy today for a puddle around the bay, and he had a go with the bait catcher to catch some sprats as he wants to go fishing for the first time. He was very proud of his 7 that he caught. I'm worried about fishstocks, when I was a kid, me, my brother and our cousin who stayed next door would have competions to see who could catch the most, and the individual talley was often 2-300. In a day. Wow. If only we had known back then.
We will take oliver fishing tomorrow. Hopefully he doesn't catch anything, as neither of us know how to gut nor fillet one!! Ironically the same cousin is next door this weekend, he suggested YouTube, only the internet isn't good enough lol. Hopefully he might step in and show the young lad tomorrow if he succeeds, or I might have to beg!! I'm more worried about catching something undersized singed I don't know my species not size limits.
Total eclipse of the moon tonight and the sky has cleared up for it. It starts in an hour and finishes at 1am. Not sure I'll stay up for it all.
Happy Easter everyone
Everything happens for a reason
