Hi Kam,
I was just thinking of you the other day as I was making these.
Remember the top of your old fireplace?
I transformed it into four carvings of my brother's family.
Produced from a photo. ππ
Thanks for that.
Hope all's well.
Jim
We've been twice on Canary islands cruises.
Last time a couple of years ago we negotiated a discount and went for a minivan taxi ride of the sights.
I was so impressed that I gave the guy the full price. πBeautiful place.
We followed a toboggan down the hill in the taxi. That was fun. π
Didn't go fishing though. Didn't need to. Plenty of food on the ship. π
I had another trip out on Madness with Martin & Chris W.
Some "cheeky beggars" appeared out of nowhere to nick the buoy we were going to tie up on. π
So we changed plan and headed for the castle. Guaranteed a fish there we thought. Martin skilfully took us all around the mark but not a single bite.
OK off to the swash. Certain to pick something up. Nope! although I did have one bite but missed it. πͺ (That'll be another one that gets bigger every time I tell the story) π
It was jolly lumpy out there and with the waves hitting us side on we gave it a couple of hours and then we headed back into the harbour.
Greg was still on "our secret mark"
Jerry was drifting and after a while tied up to a buoy.
We just kept trying different drifts. Chris managed to "winkle out" a Bass which saved the blank. π
As said above: Back on the 1:30 bridge and a clean down then into the club house for the "weigh in" π
Jerry decided to do a "raffle" for the turkey which some Fat bloke won. Thanks Jerry. π€£ He had also made sure that everyone got a prize so smile all round and Jackie's pleased with the turkey. ( Winner winner turkey dinner)
Thanks all for taking part.
Thanks Jerry for organising it.
And thanks Martin & Chris for putting up with me again.
At the end of the day .. . . . . . It's just a lads' day out.
Oh . . . . . . and the days are now getting longer again. Yippppppeeeeeeeee. π
