Wendy - my mobile is on the blink, so I can't retrieve your number! Thanks for the kind offer, but I don't get home from work until quite late, and I don't have a day off this week until the weekend. I don't think we'd have enough time to get a session in after work. Lovely offer though, and I'm sure it won't be long until we meet up.
The fish-in sounds great, but unfortunately I go away on 12th May for two weeks on our annual narrowboat trip on the canals round the South Pennines. Looking forward to it more than ever now I know how to try and catch all those fish I can see when I'm on deck!
Ron - I'll remember your safety tips! Jeeeez....it sounds dangerous stuff! Haven't got a hat like you describe, but I'll get one!
Wendy - can I borrow one of your tweed skirts?
