In haste...off fishing!!

Hello
Just a quick one ! We are about to set off for the first Cornish fishing trip of the year. We'll be staying at our friends' in Callington while David is fishing from Looe. He is with a new skipper on a new boat this year, so we will see how that goes.
Meanwhile, as ever, our youngest daughter decamps to ours until Sunday when we will return, in time for the family to join us for tea (well it IS Sunday!) She has quite a list of tasks to do this trip, with chicks, pigs and lambs on four bottles a day, not to mention the usual hens, rabbits, cat and parrot! Thank goodness that the greenhouse will look after itself for a couple of days.
So the cars all packed and we are ready for the off (I bet the roads will be awful as it is a bank holiday)
Thank you all for your kind comments and I await my seed from Weaver with much excitement.
Back soon with an update
Hope you all enjoy your Easter, however you celebrate it

    1. yes we do. We take them back to my friend's house in the evening, I fillet them and put them in her freezer until we come home the next morning, when the fillets travel in our freezer box. Then straight into our freezer for when we fancy some fish. This trip he caught pollack and ling. Both excellant eating.

    1. We seemed to miss the bad traffic and it took us no longer than usual. Five kilos of filletted fish in the freezer. Not a bad start to the year.

    1. As you now know the weather wasn't bad and the wind dropped on saturday so that they could go out to sea.
      Looe was VERY busy with visitors.
