On the good news front the carp are already on the spring feed and its obvious that the catfish have woken up!

Just thinking of Iain today at the 5 lakes carp show wondering if he managed to meet up with our various friends who visit us every year.  Also trying to decide what ‘necessity’ he has just ‘had to buy’…… hmmmm !!!! Its strange I, as I suppose so many ‘carp widows’ had very little idea of just how much money our men folk actually spend on carp fishing and the numerous amounts of stuff that the big manufacturers try and entice them with!

Have been spending some time thinking about the food menus for this season….

I know so many of you have your favourites,

but I  have come up with some more scrummy dishes to tempt you with!

Looking outside as the rain trickles down the windowpane I wont be doing any more shovelling today..

Ah well theres always a bar of chocolate!!
