While I have been immersed in deluge of exam marking here in Spain, back in Ireland my old partners in crime, my brother Sean and Mark McCann have been doing what they do best – sinking pints and fly fishing for the elusive brown trout of Lough Arrow and Lough Sheelin.
Needless to say I am wracked with jealousy. The only mildly amusing moment I have had over the last few days occurred during the marking if the IB Biology when one candidate stated that the answer to a question was “That´s just the way things are. God works in mysterious ways!”
Somebody like this may not be vying to get into Cambridge on the strength of their academic achievements but they sound like the sort of person who would be good company on a day afloat and in the pub afterwards.
Sean sent me an email with the details and a bunch of photos. The words can follow later but here, to give an impression of their adventures, are a selection of photos Sean sent me…….

Mind you I bet the boys are jealous of your fishing as well . Sight Fishing for beautiful Gitano Barbel ……stalking each one individually in glorious weather with a fight that knocks brown trout into a cocked hat! You ARE a lucky so and so for sure.
It is just all that rain and mist that makes the other side of the fence greener 🙂
Is that yourself Harry? You are, of course, quite right. Remember that we have a bed for you here if you miss it too much!
