Worms finer for fishing you couldn't be wishing; I delved them dismayed from the velvety sod; The rich loam upturning I gathered them squirming, big, fat, gleamy earthworms, all ripe for my rod. Robert Service In the morning if you get outside early enough you will see blackbirds pull wiggling pink worms from the grass before wolfing them down hungrily. The sea is also home to worms of all descriptions: long, short, fat, thin, hairy, spiky…, you could come up with pretty much any adjective and there are worms to meet the description.

We’ve been here 5 days and been pretty lazy - not that hard in the Almond Smugglers Cove 4 star all-inclusive resort. Apart from the beach, the pools, the cocktails and the great food, we have managed to get in some snorkelling, wakeboarding, sailing their Hobie-Cats and sea kayaking.

Actually the Queen Mary 2 was anchor outside, too long a ship to come in. We went all over, streets were crowded, too many cruise ships in, plus the locals trading, but oh what fun and what an experience. Dad decided yesterday morning he wanted to go, he did real well. Up to last 1/2 hour then he sat down. By ice cream shop. Since it was late in the day, products were cheaper and we did not start to shop for us until after 2. We got real bargains, and Heather, I bought me a new bracelet!! Tell Kandy I got her one too. Actually bought 7 of ... read more
