I took a walk along a stretch of the Grand Union and came across a fishing competition in progress.
Most of the anglers were concentrating on the job in hand but this guy gave me a nice smile so I stopped and had a chat with him.
He had caught 5 little ‘uns but he wasn’t bothered in the slightest if he didn’t win, he was just glad to be out in the warm sunshine for the day.
A delightful spring view along the canal - fav! You did well to find a chatty fisherman, so many of them seem to resent intrusion on their peace and quiet.
