The Secret of The Lark

I awake to the sound of our own Reeves and Mortimer aka Jezba and Andy talking fishing and all manner of stuff rather than actually fishing! “ I don’t like celebrities” “I read the Express - it’s always on about Woke - what is woke?” A better nights sleep but my watch says about the same !

Another interesting sleep on the ledge ! Last night was fun and preceded by Andrew getting the big one - a Pike!

I didn’t hear them come back and the sleep was okay!
So it’s over and what’s important is not the destination or the journey but the company !
We’re off - a happy birthday trip Jezba!
