We’ve Hungry Fish To Feed

If Andy could see the fish in his beloved pond now, he just wouldn’t believe how big they have grown …….

…… when Darrell went with him to choose them they were really tiny weeny http://mumsmonkey.blogspot.co.uk/2011/06/fletcher-hunt-doyle-and-elokobi.html, and now……. they are mahooooosiveWe haven’t fed them since October when the weather started to get cold, but now they have been coming to the surface and showing signs that they may be getting hungry again …….
… so we have taken the tentative step of starting to feed them again …
…. just a little bit at a time,  as we don’t want anything to happen to them.
Our very favourite is a huge white one, who is also proving to be the greediest ……he floats  through the water like a silver ghost in a very romantic fashion (for a fish)!  Happy Days.

"Fletcher, Hunt, Doyle and Elokobi." Great names for fish at the time but how many of them have played for Wolves recently?

I love your description of the white fish - a silver ghost - very romantic indeed. I'm glad you are holding onto young Nige in the that photo Monkey - I would hate the Silver Ghost to get a mouthful of young monkey! JantheFan x
