Fish and chaps

You'd have thought by now that everyone was pretty used to seeing Bear Grylls drink his own pee. He seems to find any excuse to do it really... yet last week, the girls were watching an episode on Matilda's laptop and I thought this snap I took was quite telling. Guess which one of the three got a Bear Grylls survival book for Christmas?



Another thing she got was a new fishing rod to replace the one that got broken by some over exuberant playing with her cousin 6 months ago. Today Daile took her out to fish, and low and behold she caught one! Well let me tell you, NO ONE deserves to catch a fish more than Tild. She's really done the hard yards to get to this point. We've fished for hours and hours with other people catching them all around us, but has she been discouraged? Not a bit of it! Here's her first edible fish, and my first attempt at filleting one!







Chuffed or what?
