Fish and Chainsaws

This weekend we have been spending some time with Alex and Adam at their new home. Saturday morning we were up at the insanely early time of 5.30am to go fishing in their boat. Neither of us had done much fishing before, and it showed as we both were pretty unsuccessful. Adam caught a few Bream but they were all too small to keep. Janine almost reeled in something big but it snapped the line. I was convinced it was a dead bird but the others saw a fin so claim it was a fish.

Unsuccessful fishermen, but still fun

Just as we returned from the fishing trip the heavens opened and a massive thunderstorm hit. Nothing like the UK, really fat rain and crazy amounts of lightening and thunder. Within a couple of hours the rain had passed and it was sunny again. We picked up some beers and some bits and headed to Adams brothers for a BBQ. After spending most of the afternoon there with a few of his brothers and their family we dove back in the car as the rains came again. When we got back another storm was about to hit, we were glad to be inside with our McDonald's chips.

Heavy Rain

Sunday was a lazy one, we met up for sushi with Emily and Selwyn then head back to make the most of the sun while we could. In the evening another storm hit this one was lighter than the previous days but still heavy by our standards.

Today Alex and Adam had to go back to work, we've kinda forgotten what that feels like. So we took their bikes out for a long ride along the river near their house. Tonight we cook Ailsa's fabled Buried Treasure for the guys, I am sure they will love it.

Which of Janines hands got bitten?
