ReplyDeleteYou shall have a fishy on a little dishy,
You shall have a fishy when the boat gets in.
You shall have a mackerel on a little dishy,
You shall have a mackerel when the boat gets in.
WOW....looks like you boys had a great day! Thanks for the photos.....unfortunately I would be VERY seasick, even with a fish on the end of a line! .......a blue lobster?? ~Annie John :o)
ReplyDeleteWow, what an amazing catch!! Love Henry's facial expression in the first photo! Hope you guys are well, please give Henry a hug from me. I STILL miss Fair Isle! (Reading your blog is the next best thing to being back there.)

My favourite photo is the one of Henry making the exact same facial expression as his haddock! Oh my! That one had me laughing out loud -- adorable! Also, I did not know just how human a fish could look as I had never seen an actual haddock before - the eyes and "lips" on a fish. Beautiful fish!
ReplyDeleteMy 2nd favourite photo is the one of the lobster "tale" with the isle as backdrop. That was a cute photo -- loved them all, as usual. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us here back in the U.S.
I do hope to be there 1 day though, and give the isle at least a year of my time on this planet.
Cheers~

ReplyDeleteI recently used Mobile Fix 36 for their phone repair service, and I couldn’t be more satisfied! My phone had a cracked screen, and they fixed it quickly and at a great price. The team was friendly, professional, and kept me updated throughout the process.
