Fishing, caring for animals, gardening

Living so close to the ocean we fish on a weekly basis, early in the mornings prior to starting work at 6.30am.  We (my husband and I) enjoy the early mornings on the ocean.


We also have a substantial garden both flowers and vegetables and combined with our fishing allows us to eat fresh food on a daily basis.


We have a number of dogs, cats, horses and cows which we tend to morning and evenings.
