don't think i've seen as much poppy flowers as i have this year. i wonder if it's something i just did not notice the last years or if this year has more of them than usual. they are the most beautiful of all flowers, especially now that all the grasses, plants and trees are so green almost fluorescent and the red of the poppy flower is like a touch of god.

It's the first day of river fishing season tomorrow so I'm getting up early to go and fish the Severn off the island above the weir at Holt Fleet.
On the other stretch I fish between Alveley and Hempton Loade, there's another island in the river that some massive (fish eating, but that's another story) Otters that presumably live on there. You can be fishing then a massive dog Otter swims past.
Where I am tomorrow.
I went down yesterday to clear a peg.
Before...
After... some whacking with a stick I found to clear a spot.
And the river...
Hopefully no one else will be there when I arrive at 2am as it's the only peg on the island, but it's a spot to catch Bream which aren't as popular as Barbel. On the Barbel stretches people will be getting there later today ready to start fishing at midnight, and probably catch nothing anyway.
