Better together
I'm not going to lie- I'm really going to miss our annual Christian Anglers weekend Retreat this year. Cancelling it, in the light of all that's going on at the moment and in line with government restrictions was undoubtedly the right and the sensible thing to do, but it'll certainly leave a bit of a hole in my summer. We all of us sometimes enjoy fishing solo - packing up some lunch, grabbing our tackle and sitting on the banks of river, lake or canal with only ourselves, the chatter of birds, the glory of nature, and God for company, but there's also something special about fishing in company. It may just be with one particular fishing partner, two or three friends, or (as in our fish-ins and retreats) a whole bunch of angling pals, but memories are often that bit sweeter when they happen to be shared memories. I've been fishing with my two brothers for nearly 40 years now, and with many of my fellow Christian Anglers members for a fair few, too.
