Dear Friends,

I decided to write this letter at the same one holiday I caught loads of Pollack, but they time as I was thinking of booking a were still small and I threw them back. I dream holiday for a few weeks time. We have of catching cod, or herring, or mackerel, or always loved to holiday in Scotland – flounders, or dabs, but bad fishermen tend to often in the Western Isles, or the west of stay as dreamers. My father came from North Devon, and he told of going fishing, with tales Scotland, and it has been good coming of people having legs broken by conger eels to work up here from Manchester be- hiding in rocks near the coast. Apparently cause it has taken off the first 180 miles conger eels grow to 6 foot, and have a vicious and 4 hours of the driving to get to some bite – don’t fancy catching one of those! More of the great places in Scotland! When I often in North Devon the standard fish to catch was 8 we had a holiday in Nairn, but was the garfish – a long thin green inedible have never been more towards the monstrosity with lots of teeth and a long thin North East part of Scotland – along by nose! Banff, Buchan or Peterhead, so think Sometimes I wonder if Jesus smiled, or that is where we might go this time. others caught the sense of humour, when he said to the disciples “I will make you fishers of One of the things I’ve enjoyed particularly men!” They were fishermen. They knew what over recent times on holiday is fishing, fish looked like. If it was on the normally using lures off basis of beauty alone, I suspect harbour walls, or rocks. male and female fish would never Truth be told get together!!!! Fish just look odd. I’m not very A lot look ugly. Some are distinctly good at it, weird. And they all look very although different. Here is Jesus saying – you know what it’s like catching all those weird fish – it’s exactly the same with catching people. There’s a lot of different looking people!

This was followed by a party in the Hall and the cutting of the an- niversary cake by Nancy Hogg.
