Putting Sufficient Elements In Place Might Mean I Don't See The Homestead Again

Here we are on another Monday morning. And once again I can happily reveal that another excellent weekend has passed and I can report glad news! I know that this may appear a tad smug to anyone that has had a poor weekend, and to you I apologise and wish you a better one this coming Friday. In fact, if I have a bad weekend, you can be sure that I will be letting you know all about it as it will give me a ready topic to start the week with if it makes you feel better.
As well as a nice outing with the family, I managed to locate an ideal situation for a spot of angling on the canal. At least, it'll be ideal for the summer as the view depends mainly on cricket being played on the field across the canal, which is not going to be seen in this hemisphere in January. But, once the next cricket season begins in May, it's the best site along the canal for soaking the fishing tackle as long as the batsman doesn't smash one for 6 into the water where I've got a maggot drowning.
I have been on the lookout for spots to fish when I start fishing again and so far it's going well. There are a number of locations I've found along the canal towpath so far that look good for setting up the fishing tackle for a quiet few hours thinking about life on a Friday afternoon, so that's one tick in the box.
Also, as we start to emerge from winter, I'm intent on enjoying Saturdays doing some angling if I can persuade the wife to let me out. If, for no other reason than I can have the whole day with Radio 5 which is peerless in my opinion for someone remotely interested in soccer. From Fighting Talk through to Six-Oh-Six, it is a fabulous afternoon's listening, and I think that combine that with a day out with the fishing tackle, you can't go wrong.
I am also seeking a lake or large pond locally, preferably a bit secluded like the fisheries I went to as a kid in Cranleigh.
For river fishing though, I know precisely where I'm going, which is to the Severn near Arley where I can both sit by the water, dangle my fishing tackle and look at the steam trains on the Severn Valley Railway screaming up and down the line every 20 minutes or so. Could anything possibly be finer? Radio 5, angling and steam trains? If there's a way to include some cricket as well, I think it might be possible that I'll never leave the riverbank.
