Sunday 6th September – Off Season Activities – Fly Fishing Another 2 weeks have passed and I’m afraid no blog last Sunday. If the old adage ‘if you want a job doing give it to a busy person’ is true then I’m not sure what my lack of a blog last week says about what…

As you’d expect, Dave prepared a beautifully presented French breakfast…
