I watched a repeat of Sir Tony Robinson walking from the Scottish Borders to Lindisfarne during his Walking Through History programme tonight. Such a wonderful programme to remind me of my homelands. He stopped at the River Tweed to do a spot of fishing for salmon and this reminded me that in April I shall have a first go at fly fishing on one of the Hampshire chalk streams. Its over 30 years since I last fished on the River Coquet so it will be interesting to see how I get on flicking the fly over the water. Maybe I too will be proficient enough to flyfish the Tweed..... hum maybe J.R.R. Hartley will spin in his grave first.
