Last year I started fishing, which I find extremely peaceful. A friend of mine had been telling me for ages that there is nothing nicer than being on a riverbank, waiting for a fish. I couldn’t understand the attraction, in all honesty, however ultimately I gave it a go. And I must say that I [...]
