Another memorable day occurred a couple of years ago. I was contacted by a man who wanted to know if I could take his mother out for a couple of hours fishing. She had told her grandchildren that she used to go fishing with her boyfriend before the second world war but she had never caught anything. We organised a surprise day out and the lady arrived with her husband (not apparently the boyfriend in question) she caught her first fish in her eighty third year.

I have since taught her grandchildren.
