Nigel Visits The Evesham Angling Festival

We are not usually in Evesham at the weekend, when the big events “touristy” events are on ………

…….. but this weekend Nigel decided to stay over and avail himself of one of Evesham’s main annual events, to wit the Fishing Festival just out of curiosity.
Angling Festival EveshamHaving a river flowing through the town you live in, with it’s bridges, boat trips, rowing club, riverside chalets and ducks, as well as said fishing competitions,  is just soooooooo romantic, we do have a stream in our village, but, well,  it just doesn’t compare does it?

Nigel also had a mooch around the various fishing stalls that were there  ……….

Some of the fishing baits looked and smelt very, very tempting, almost like little sweets and made Nigel think back to the fish he befriended in Greece and wondered if he should get some. to put away for our next holiday!

Does Nigel want to "swim with the fishes?"

I don't see Nigel as a fisherman-he's too kind to be bashing fish on the head!

Ah.....of course Evesham would have water pursuits! ....Nigel would probably do better with a nice little pocket size fish directory featuring coloured pictures of fishes from all over the world......more Evesham pleasures!.... Dianne
