“I have laid aside business, and gone a’fishing.” –Izaak Walton

The above because I particularly love dropping all my work (I'm self employed) and going fishing midweek and think how lucky I am when i see other people over- stressed trying to get to and from work. Then get to the water to have it to myself many times!

Also: "My biggest fear is my wife selling all my tackle when I die for what i said I paid for it".

Can't remember where I read that, but another one that applies to me!!!!
