@jtay great idea keep us posted when you get started

Well that was fun.Enjoying a long overdue change of fortune I headed off to have breakfast with some mates.A woman blinded by the sun roared out of a side road and crashed into my pick up.Nobody got hurt lots of witnesses buzzing about.I got away lightly by comparison her car was a total write off.5 seconds earlier...5 seconds later...it doesn't happen...small margins eh
-
River lovely.Light traffic noise drowned out by birdsong.Crap previous 4 months of gloom hopefully lightening up.Love of fishing returns so too hopefully will love of real ale starting tonight lol.A 15lb 8 oz pike made for a lovely day.
-
Chest waders on today river is still 2ft deep over the banks in places.In other news Loon Forum had to be shut last night.Snow deprivation can drive folk over the edge it seems lol.
-
At last some time on the river.Really enjoyed it.One lovely chub...but some peace at long last.No named storms to screw things up either lol
-
28 1 2004 only time I've seen thundersnow.Followed it's track on the regional.Oxford had it then it continued south.Pouring with rain then no longer noise on the windows. Thunder and lightning in tandem with very heavy snow really was a special thing to experience.
-
One of those days of great intentions that ended up aimless drifting..need a boot up the backside methinks.
-
Tough start to the day.Freak gust of wind blew my hairpiece off.Tyson the cat thought it was a rival and tore it to pieces.I now look 40 years older the neighbours are laughing I'm 200 quid poorer and I'm freezing.As I say a tough start to the day.
-
No its gone all rightAre you drunk sweetie
-
Blimey the gusts are horrendous the 4 bedroom detached house next door has gone.
-
I can wave to the dinghies lol
-
Was too dangerous instructor said I would be in Calais in 22 minutes
-
My windsurfing class has been cancelled
-
Good work and well done.A friend of mine does it in Fordingbridge.Also the wild swimming community plus locals are trying to get the status of the stretch through the Recs status upgraded because thousands a year use the area opposite the George for wading swimming ect Bit nervous about tomorrow's storm.Im having my first windsurfing lesson off the Needles lol
-
I'm being lazy..however...phone rang at 9 45 telling me that gardening chums would buy me breakfast as long as I could make 10 15..place 4 miles away..got there with 5 to spare..its called incentive lol
-
Throwback to the 50s frost on the inside of the window.Caused an attack of the Night Nadgers which in darkness is scary.
-
Toasty 18 degrees here...I'm still in bed lol
-
I'm lucky as my 122nd birthday comes in February I still love my work cutting the hours back a bit but often wonder how I worked at Esso head office for 18 years in London before seeing sense lol
-
Was at the Yew Tree today all very sad baskets and troughs rock solid with frost.Sat there taking pictures and mental notes and didn't feel so bad
-
Being honest some of the girls design work was outstanding I wasn't very good but came alive when it came to planting and planning.I still love doing old cottage garden planting schemes.
-
I went on a design course years ago cost 60 quid was brilliant visited people's gardens got fantastic ideas and training.Only downside was I was the only bloke in a class of 16..it was hell but somebody had to do it I suppose lol
-
Just miss sunset on a flat calm river when the fish start to feed.
-
Last few days have been brilliant
-
That's sadly what no snow does to people they just go to pieces lol
-
I save during the year to have time off mainly to go fishing.However if a decent job comes up I do it lol.The flooding has messed the fishing up but Breamore will get a visit for the pike. That said my last fishing trip ended with a Swan crapping on my head.The next person to say it's lucky will sail into the Avon lol Good idea to volunteer though.
