Euan,

here it is with the additional jaw sets on the pedestal including the rotary chuck for tubes, sweet no more fannying about with needles.

Cheers Mike,
still freaking out about the prospect of no trout fishing for a few years but I am sure that I can find some stuff in the sea to throw fluff at to keep me going. Steven seems to be managing in the far east so I suppose his old man will get used to it. At least I will have a nice vice thanks to his mum to keep me going until we come home.

Wow!
Now that is pretty. Well played Eddie getting your missus to buy something useful.  :z4

I'm sure it will look lovely in the Middle East churning out Scottish trout flies in preparation for the big return.

Euan,

the big return is one thing but the last hurrah  is another. I am not planning to move (no matter what my boss thinks) before some time in May. Lets get as much fishing and as much memories in as we can before I bugger off to the desert.

I already have the spring salmon fishing organised so we need to get the troot fishing for April and May sorted. I can see Durness and Beanie and the other lochs that we need to explore on the way to Beanie being done before I head off.

I hear there are Salmon in the Yemen ;)

Plenty of saltwater oppurtunities for a bit of fly chucking, and there are a few fish in the rivers that will hit a fly, so all is not lost :)

Don't listen to him Dad the fishing will be horrendous, I wouldn't even bother if I were you.  Your time would be far better spent tying flies for me!  :z4

I'll fire through my requirements shortly and if my requests are ignored I will ensure that mother is made aware that her loving gift is not being put to good use....

Your loving son.

Steven,

I will be busy making flies for whatever I can find. You never communicate with your mother anyway so I will be fine. :X2

You could even try a novel concept and tie your own, I did teach you a long time ago so you will manage fine. :X2

Dad :z18

Mrs Henderson spotted out squirrel in the garden yesterday. Bit of a conundrum a grey body but quite a gingery head?!? Do they cross breed?

Sadly the 35mm lense was on the camera to take pictures of the bairn and she couldn't get a decent picture of the wee thing.

Cheers
