Up super early.  Dog walked and papers fetched by 6am.  Into office for 7.20 hoping to get out a bit early to do some jobs at the lotty.

Thursday 4th August 2016

Last minute panicing.  Got Brussel Sprouts into the ground at the lotty hopefully some of the ‘orrible things will be done by Xmas!!  Need to get some spuds started off for Xmas too.   Have got an automatic watering system in the greenhouse that will do the trays on the floow but it’s going to need some perfecting.

Friday 5th August 2016

Off to that Wales.  Set off about 9am got there a bit after 1:30, few stops along the way.  Got in and settled.   Should have gone fishing but was mighty tired so went to bed instead.

Monday 8th August 2016

Brother arrives – not best pleased with all the folks on the field!  Went golfing with me dad to Bull Bay – course drove me insane.

Bit of a fish at night – caught nowt as a bit too much weed about and it was low tide.

Tuesday 9th August 2016

Up early.  Took Missus, Lucy and Grace to Anglesey Show – traffic great, dropped em off then came back to take the pooch out.  Fetched em back at 3pm all good stuff.   Went fishing with our Andrew got a bass which put up no fight at all, Andrew got a dogfish and a lil plaice.  

All good stuff.  Had to endure 9 hours of Gymnastics after - crikey it does just go on.  Gb got a bronze in the end so not all bad.

Wednesday 10th August 2016

Our Andrew’s birthday – give him a fishing rod (bet he’s sick of em by now).   In the evening we went out to the Black Lion at Llanfaethlu – very nice food – really enjoyed it and they let us take the dog in too.

Thursday 11th August 2016

Dog walked, paper fetched – just like being at home eh!  Played at Anglesey Golf Club at Rhosneigr with Paul from the Campsite - it was good fun but a bit windy.  

Friday 12th August 2016

Long day.  Up early stripping down fishing kit then head back to home.  Stopped off at Llandudno on way home - up on the Great Orme the wind was unbelievable - people leaning into it at 45 degrees unbelievable!  Never mind, got home about 7pm after getting mega cramp in Cheadle on the way. right tired but got roof box off car and put away and all rest of it unloaded.

Saturday 13th August 2016

Golf cancelled but no big deal.  Took pooch a walk.  Did a shift at the lotty.  Phil has flooded my shed so am trying to dry that out and have also had all the hardware out of a wet bag and WD40’s and oiled it all.  Some quality hardware I got with that cheap kit at Xmas.  Jolly pleased.

Sunday 14th August 2016

Took poocher a walk first thing then more lotty - mowed and got a ton of rubbish down to the tip.   Then Cross at Cauldon Lowe for lunch which was very nice.  Then back home before going to Uttoxeter to see if could find a golf bag worth having at charity shop unfortunately there wasn’t so got one off a bloke in Heanor using the old eBay.  Watched Olympics golf and then whizzed down lotty to do a bit of watering.  Right tired.


What fishing stuff did I learn on this hols??
1). only need that little rod with different tips and the little multiplier although you should never put all your eggs in one basket.
2). need to work on presenting bait better.
