Chris on a kayak!

We woke up to a nice day and made friends with our neighbours, Ian and Candy. Ian had a kayak and was keen into fishing, but he hadn’t EVER successfully landed a trout. Maybe it’s not just Chris! He went out for a paddle and when he returned offered Chris a go. He was in it in a shot and although said he was only going for a paddle close in, it wasn’t long before we couldn’t see him. Sometime later he returned but without any fish. He had a break and then was off again, it started to rain but that didn’t stop him and he only returned when it got really grotty.

The hook stuck in my finger (not the big one)

We retired to the car to escape the weather but it only got wetter and colder. But when we got back, Chris did actually manage to catch something... my hand in one of his hooks which has been dangling from our mirror in our car. It hurt, a lot and took a lot of pulling. Of course, Chris thought this to be hilarious, but of course he had the third degree for leaving it up there! We went over to Ian and Candy’s for a drink and then Chris made dinner in the rain before an early night.
