I'm wondering if its the healthy "nutkins" your queueing for Andy or the less healthy double cheese and cholesterol "belly buster" with plenty of sauce ?

I've enjoyed the show each time I've been, unfortunately & after a lot of thought, this year I'm going to give it a miss.

Ive started fishing at a new venue this year & it opens on March 1st, its a smashing spot, & having not wet a line since November, I'm raring to get back into it


unfortunately I've too much to do on the Saturday, pity as I was looking forward to catching up with some of the regulars at the show.


Paul

obviously its a venison burger - probably one shot on the car park of the shooting exhibition on the same morning (and yes lots of sauce)

ps dont forget my birthday next week pk - time to get in one of those magical states again - Ive been cheating as i went for a dress rehersal last night (and im paying for it this morning)
