Only a dusting in Higher Blackley and we too are usually the first to get it in Manchester. I’ve just looked out of the window at the sky it looks like we may well be in for a large dump of the stuff at sometime today.

Will have to spend another Sunday in front of the fire with a beer and make a few rigs up.

Was going to fish my first match in weeks, woke up with horrendous toothache and now awaiting an appointment at the emergency dentist.~sick ~sick ~sick

No snow here, (Uxbridge) but swearword freezing.
Was going to do a knockup on the Colne but got up at 6 30, saw all the ice on the cars and , having blanked in my last two matches on the river, went back to bed.
Equally glad that changed my mind over original plan which involved the Wey Nav with no blood and joker…

About an inch of snow here in Cheddleton Staffs and very cold as well. Roll on spring I have had enough of winter this year.

Should have come round the corner on the Bourne, had a lovely day on the stick catching quality roach. However, I have discovered a 10ft pellet waggler rod isn’t the best tool for fishing the stick!
