mini fishing

I remember fishing here with our mini bottles. Catching minows with wine bottles with the bottom knocked out ( hard to find ). Remember once being trapped under these arches with the river rising and being surrounded by the cows that came down from the field. Very fond memories - shame kids don't get the chance these days to experience such things.

RE: mini fishing

I also share this found memory Michael, a time when we feared no danger - when did we become over protective parents.? We moved into the village in 1965, and myself and my 3 sisters spent many a time in the river.
