Log Busters!


When there's something rank,
In your septic tank,
Who you gonna call?
Log Busters!

Progress continues on the Log Busting sewage treatment plant, and if you'd like to see how they got it round that bend and into the ground, this video is for you.

The recording was done by Emily 'Madge' Payne, our resident video-jock and Pam Ayres impersonator.

TTFN!

Pike Out White Out

Woke up this morning and there's all snow on my tail again. Underfloor heating in the showers indeed? When will they think about a bit of comfort for the poor pike? Snow wonder I'm cold.
Fishy gratifications to the famous Mr Mike Page for the picturesque view.

It's not big & it's not clever


I spied this a few days ago in the Eastern Daily Pike. Seems like it's getting harder to get away with driving like a nutter on the rivers now. Good thing too, I hate getting my laptop splashed as they whizz past in a blurrrr. So next time Steve Wright gives you a friendly wave - slow down!

Fish defrosted

It's been a while fish fans, but I've got my laptop defrosted now so happy new year. Today I've been watching Ash's boys finish the drainage at the bottom of the campsite, whilst Ritch & Gary have been smashing hell out of the shower block. Apparently we're having 10 'luxury' showers with underfloor heating, toilets and heaven knows what else. Has nobody told them that we open in 9 weeks?

Happy Christmas from a frozen fish


Whilst you're all nice & snug by the fire, spare a thought for a lonely fish, standing by the river with a frozen tail.

Lindsey tried to sit on it yesterday but you know what happens when human skin touches frozen steel. She'd still be there if Steve hadn't got his blow torch out.

Have a great Christmas and keep an eye on my updates in the new year, I'll have lots to tell you.

Love from your Fishy Friend Eddie.

Keeping the Environment Agency happy


Ever wondered what happens when you flush the chain? Well here's where it will all be going next year, into this little baby. Richard & Gary shown for scale.

Having spent the last several weeks digging the hole, the next task is to fill it all in again.

Humans, I despair. There are billions of fish and we all poo in the river. It's perfectly natural, you know.

All prepared for poo!


Well Monday is the big day. The first of the tanks is here and wow it's a biggie. The crane comes tomorrow and then the biggest challenge of all - how to move the tanks through the site! Tune in tomorrow...
