Friday the 2nd June

Finally released back into the wild, the next day was looking good but I wasnt sure how or if I could cope with the driving.

Saturday 3rd June

After the first decent nights sleep in days Saturday morning arrived with a burst of morning chorus and that dawn smell, you know the one, that combination of summer rain and freshly cut grass, it felt really good I can tell you, Tracy my better half got up and said "come on let's get you down the beach", blimy it wasn't even 7 o'clock yet, but I wasn't argueing.

I cant sum up how I felt when I sunk that paddle into the water for the first time in what seemed an eternity, suffice to say it was good, real good.

My real fear was in only having limited sight would things still be as enjoyable, could i cope with only seeing half the picture, I needn't have worried everything was fine, still looked and felt the same, happy days.

Sunday 4th June

Went out for a paddle and fish with the missus, the conditions were perfect, it was as if someone had got the iron out, that coupled with some unusual catches and sights it made for the perfect day.
