Re: The beauty of Ashmead
A couple of Birthday carp.... I love to see the fish spawned out at this time of year.... It means the stress is over for another twelve months for both the carp and me. It also signals the start of the best stalking period at the fishery and the centrepin will hopefully have a few busy months ahead!

Great presents and as you say great that they have again managed to rid themselves of their build up.

Beautiful fish Skeff. Happy belated Birthday by the way.
God never did make a more calm, quiet, innocent recreation than angling.

Re: The beauty of Ashmead
Well I just pinched myself a few times but no, I'm not dreaming. It's time to start preparing my things for the trip of a lifetime. On Sunday I set forth towards Somewhereset in search of dreams. I feel quite giddy.
