Fly Fishing in Wales

Here’s somebody who knows how to enjoy a bank holiday weekend by getting away from it all and going fly fishing in Wales. The fast flowing stream is next to an ancient stone bridge in a valley out off the road between Abergavenny and Brecon in South Wales. Fly fishing requires relaxed concentration, which is [...]

What Easter Is All About

A quick video capture of a pair of mute swans mating rather gracefully on Easter Sunday in Wanstead Park. Easter is all about eggs, (Easter, Ester, Eastre, Eostre, Estrus, Oestrus) fertility and celebrating springtime in the traditional manner so this seems quite appropriate today. The location for this video is the Alexandra Lake, Wanstead Flats but we [...]
