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 šŸ˜‰

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 šŸ“·
Q: What’s the most amount of money you’ve spent on fishing gear and what was it?
A: Ā£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 šŸ™„šŸ˜‚
Until Next Time

When the snow was beautiful and didn’t disappear When the snow was beautiful and didn’t disappear ā„ļø 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 šŸ˜‚ 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
Hello strangers! Thought I should pop on here and Hello strangers! Thought I should pop on here and let you all know I haven’t forgotten about this online world, I’ve just needed some time to myself after almost 5 years of continuous life sharing! I also haven’t been heading off anywhere glam or buying much to share on here, so today’s snap is a bit of a throw back to just before the first lockdown when I found this gorgeous wool blazer in @british_heart_foundation from @poloralphlauren 🄰 how are you all and have you managed to find any bargain secondhand finds?! ā™»ļøšŸŒæ
I’ll be honest and say that I’ve completely go I’ll be honest and say that I’ve completely gone off of Instagram over the last few months and popped on here this morning for the first time in weeks to see if I could get back into the swing again. To be honest I’ve been so busy with work most days, that when it comes to having some free time all I want to do is slob out, watch something on the telly and do nothing - I spend most of my life on my laptop or work phone, that the last thing I want to do when I’m finished is churn out more content. But I’ve come to realise that’s okay - I don’t need to let my social media dictate how I live my life, or feel bad about the fact that I don’t have certain things, can’t go certain places or live a certain life - because social media (and especially Instagram), is where people showcase their best selves and not necessarily what’s going on off screen. I realised a while ago that jealousy isn’t going to get me anywhere; I might look at someone online and envy their life, but should be thankful (and am!) for the life that I’ve already got - there’s always going to be someone worse off and everyone has different goals or ideals in life, so there’s no use in getting bogged down when I can’t afford to go certain places, have certain things, when I’ll get where I need to be in my own time. I just need to carry on doing my own thing and not let the Instagram envy get me down ā¤ļø
{GIFTED} Thank you so much to @kaolin.kiln for sen {GIFTED} Thank you so much to @kaolin.kiln for sending me these gorgeous earrings from her Etsy store - everything is zero waste and all packaging is 100% recyclable!  I hope you’re all enjoying the gorgeous sunshine and making sure your skin is well protected from the sun - you don’t want to end up tossing and turning because you got burnt and turned into a radiator in a day! We went food shopping and out to the in-laws for our weekly Sunday roast, so I’m now spending the afternoon keeping as cool as I can in the flat, readying myself for another week of work in the heat!
