Yes it would be good for a hot tub, but as there are other people with them in the village and lots of rumours that they are swinging were not going down that route.

Its having a proper beer pump installed!

My other hobby at the moment is trying to get a 15 month old to sleep in her own bed! Although at the moment, I am having five minutes off whilst her dad has a go.... oh no... he's just given up and is coming downstairs!

Catching these....To the non fishermen......fly fishing.

To anyone that fishes/cares this was about 5lbs, although the way the photo was taken makes it look about 1lb i had 29 that day, 3 over 10lb on a fly i designed myself (was taught how to dress flies by a House of Hardy tier). Me and my mate have used this fly and variants of it all season and have come off every lake we've fished with one of us having caught the most that day. Which for me was sort of an acheivment anyway


Oh and i return every fish i catch alive
