I wondered how Eddie would go fishing, so I took him down to the Barra farm when Maggie and Claire were away. He was happy to wander around and was very happy to be throwing rocks in the water.

In terms of the fishing, he started off happy to be winding up. When the fish was caught he wasn’t interested in it until he realised what it was. When it came out he facinated by it and quite like touching the scale.

Unfortunately it was one of those days when fishing was going to be hard work. We only got one because they gave us a pellet and they weren’t keep on doing that often. Combined with the heat, he only lasted about half an hour.
