The Fishing Party

Signed Print 38 x 28cm

At first light Sunday morning a flotilla of assorted small craft chugs down the river Tyne towards the North Sea.  Each little boat contains a party of enthusiastic amateur anglers.  After Saturday night in the pub, a couple of pork sandwiches laced with peas pudding and mustard, a hair of the dog, a metre high swell and a biting Easterly wind, what better way to spend Sunday?  Bobbing about in the hostile environment of the cold North Sea is not for the feint- hearted and it’s all in the name of pleasure.
