Understanding Fishing – a guide for fishing widows (part three)

21/09/2018

For the final installment of my guide for fishing widows, I decided to interview my own fisherman husband for an insight into life of on the bank – I’m sure us non-fishing common folk wonder what the hell it’s all about, so what better way to get it?
Make sure to check out my first two instalments about the common lingo and how it affects your relationship if you haven’t already – all important in understanding!
I’m going to put it out there right now, Aaron can be very blunt and is VERY difficult to coax into a conversation if he feels under pressure (picture me glaring at him, phone in hand to take notes and asking probing questions like he’s never been probed before!) – his bluntness is one of the many reasons I love him *gushes* but I have edited out some of his profanities, which whilst I would normally share some, others don’t belong on my blog 😉

Q: What do you wish other people understood about fishing?
A: The reason you do it – it’s the chase if you were, catching that specific fish you want, your target, it’s like winning a trophy!
Q: What’s your favourite thing about it?
A: The social side of it, being out, having a laugh with your mates and just everything about fishing!
Q: What advice would you give to fishing widows that can’t seem to understand?
A: Fucking deal with it! Get a hobby. If you don’t like them going, there’s no advice you can give! There’s no point in sugar coating it.
Q: How do you think fishing widows could understand it a bit better?
A: Go with them! See what they do!

Q: What’s the one non-essential that you couldn’t live without when fishing?
A: I DON’T KNOW GABY! Errr, a powerbank to charge my phone?! There’s not really one specific non-essential as everything I take is essential!
Q: What fishing essential do you think is worth investing in?
A: A good camera 📷
Q: What’s the most amount of money you’ve spent on fishing gear and what was it?
A: £400 on rods – it isn’t a lot as I buy a lot of used gear, but I’ll be spending about that much PER ROD next year when I buy them new
DISCLAIMER: this was news to me as he only just bought some rods!

And that’s it! The final installment in my guide for fishing widows, a Q&A session with a devout angler.
I’d love to know what you thought about this series; was it helpful, could you relate and is there anything else you’d like me to cover? Let me know in the comments below!
I’m going to go and enjoy my weekend and although it’s not Aaron’s rota, he’s bloody working 🙄😂
Until Next Time

Thought I’d make another appearance on here sinc Thought I’d make another appearance on here since it’s been over a year since my last post, so here’s one from my Tiktok #sustainableootd #ootd #vintedfinds
Had such a good night for @maismurph ‘s surprise Had such a good night for @maismurph ‘s surprise birthday outing last night, although I’m definitely feeling it today! Love you both loads ❤️❤️
So I’ve been absent on here for months as I’ve So I’ve been absent on here for months as I’ve been working and saving away with this gorgeous man to make sure that we could buy a house and we’ve only gone and done it! We’re now in the process of fixing it up and getting our bedroom ready to move in to, so hope we can get in next week! I’m going to be sharing the whole process on our Tiktok account which you can follow @thealbonrenovation - the first post on there is just a video showing the whole house as it was when we bought it on Friday (it’s changed a lot since then!) - so give us a follow it you love a bit of home renovation! 🥳🥳 #firsttimebuyers #newhouse
When the snow was beautiful and didn’t disappear When the snow was beautiful and didn’t disappear ❄️ what a week it’s been! I’ve been shivering away, heating on full blast and my dressing gown wrapped around me as I work this week - I love the look of snow but hate the cold! Had a day of hypochondria where I had a cough and was convinced it was Covid - but turns out my husband knows me best and that it wasn’t. And that’s probably the most exciting bit of news I l have for you all! How are you all doing?!
Hello all! I’m trying not to leave too much time Hello all! I’m trying not to leave too much time between posts as I have been in the last few months, so I think a couple of weeks is an improvement! On our way home from food shopping last week (highlight of the week!) we decided to stop by one of my favourite spots to take some outfit photos, where the majority of what I’m wearing is second hand (bag, jacket and jumper). I’m getting extremely stir crazy, but at the same time have turned into quite the hermit, I miss going out for lunch with Aaron, mooching around the charity shops and going out to do site visits for work - let’s hope this vaccine helps bring some normality!
And the final day of 2020 is upon us! I decided to And the final day of 2020 is upon us! I decided to make myself feel like I was going somewhere tonight by putting a full face of makeup on, with the intention of sitting on the sofa sharing a bottle of Disaronno with Aaron to see the new year in! We might hit up the kitchen, the living room and Aaron suggested the bathroom but I wasn’t sure 😂 what have you got planned for tonight? And Happy New Year to everyone!
And that’s Christmas over for another year (alth And that’s Christmas over for another year (although let’s be honest, 2020 may as well not have happened!) and I just hope to god 2021 is a damn site better for everyone! Since I’ve been attempting to cut out purchasing brand new clothing all together, bar a few items such as underwear and pyjamas, I’m hoping once Hertfordshire is out of Tier 4 that I can head to the shops and do some serious secondhand shopping and use the vouchers I got to buy myself some new beauty bits. How was your quiet Christmas and have you got any beauty recommendations for me? #hertsbloggers #fashionbloggeruk #ukfashionblogger #ukstyleblogger #hertsbloggerlove #sustainablefashionblogger #secondhandfashionblogger #petitebloggeruk #petitefashionbloggeruk #outfitinspo #mylookoftheday #ootdshare #ukfashionblog #petitestyle #hertfordshirebloggers #funkyfashion #ukfashion #ootdinspo #canon700d #canon #amatuerphotography #aspiringfashionblogger #aspiringblogger
