Kayak fishing Poole 2nd Aug 2019
Shame about the fogging on the camera I have even got anti-fog inserts in there, just too much temp variation I think
Caught- variety of bass, wrasse, black bream, eel- all fish unhooked and released successfully . All on ragworm on a simple running ledger. mounted on 1/o and 2/o, if you want the best bait go to Castaways Angling, Ashley Road, Poole. Kayak anchored and then on a yacht mooring. This is 2/3 across the channel in front of lake yard and normally prolific in summer and pretty good year round, had some big bass at this spot. For ref the area is a bass nursery so all fish need to be released, you also cannot use tactics to target bass such as live sandeels freelined etc. You can get mackerel at this spot at times, although I will try to show the best spot to get them by kayak another time (it is not in the harbour).
A hot sunny day exploring the inland sea of Poole Harbour by speedboat
The weather was extremely hot and sunny under a perfect, unbroken, blue sky. We took our puppy, Frida, with us on the trip, along with a seafood picnic. In five hours, we were able to stop at three different remote spots in the vast 'inland sea' of Poole Harbour. Not only wonderful places to observe unspoiled flora and fauna, but places to have a beach picnic, have a swim, or just chill.
It was really simple to operate the speedboat (being a novice and only having taken out a speedboat twice before in my life).
Poole Harbour is one of the largest natural harbours in the world; the seawater is shallow and extremely warm and there are many isolated beaches you can land on and claim as your own, places far from the busy tourist trails. You can have a picnic, sunbathe, swim, or dog-walk. I would strongly recommend Esther's company, Poole Boat Hire.
Poole Boat Hire are extremely professional: top-notch on training and safety, with excellent-quality speedboats for hire. The scenery around Poole Harbour is to die for. Why travel to the Mediterranean when you've got an experience just as good, if not better, here in Dorset?
Countless islands to explore, castaway sandy beaches, warm water, far-reaching views to lavender-clad hills, your very own Dorset beach, nature all around you, and dog-friendly. Our five-hour rental gave us relaxation, nature and pure escapism.
Thanks to Esther Steele of Poole Boat Hire for making this dream possible

Top 4 SLH hotels for your Easter Getaway
by Small Luxury Hotels of the World on 13/03/2015
I love surprises. So in a way it’s actually good news that the least surprising and predictable things can surprise me. Like Easter for example.
It comes along every year at roughly the same time. And every year we all get very very happy because no matter how many deadlines we have, whatever our boss thinks about it and how stressed we might be on Tuesday, we all get Friday and Monday off to party. Or in my case walk dogs and eat in country pubs.
Two days off shouldn’t be this exciting. I have a holiday allowance of 25 days (sorry America I know you get far fewer) and yet it is the free ones, the bank holidays and special occasion days off that really get me overexcited.
Excited and, as I mentioned earlier, surprised. Because irrespective of this being my thirty seventh Easter, when someone in the office asked me what I was going to do with the long weekend I stared open mouthed for 10 seconds before doing a little dance.
“Oh me oh my Easter weekend!” I exclaimed, before carrying on with my dance.
After I calmed down I decided I’m not going to walk the dogs and go to country pubs though. I’m going to go away…
The big question is shall I go for a city break, head to a private island, hit the beach or lounge in a country house?
1. The City Break – ABaC Restaurant & Hotel, Barcelona
VFMLID=62289332
Yes Barcelona is an obvious choice, yes millions of people go there every year, and yes a lot of you will have been there already. But there’s a reason it’s so popular and that’s because it’s one of the coolest cities in Europe. And it’s by the sea of course. What you probably haven’t done is stayed in a little hotel like this. The 100-year-old listed building that was once the home of photographer Doña Madronita Andreu is ridiculously close to the centre of the city and has just 15 rooms. And they have personal shoppers, private trips in a Lamborghini or Ferrari and a double Michelin-starred restaurant.
2. The Beach Break – Hotel Belvedere, Mykonos Town, Mykonos
Hotel Belvedere 8
If I’m going to an island then if I’m completely honest with you most of the time I’m hoping it’s a Greek one. And if I’m going to a Greek island I’m hoping it’s Mykonos. And if I’m going to Mykonos I’m hoping I’ll be staying at Hotel Belvedere. And not just because it has a cool name.
It has the best views of Mykonos Town and the Aegean Sea from balconies and terraces, the pool is about as well placed as any pool in the world. There are two exceptional restaurants, one with incredible Greek dishes and the other divine Japanese I can’t wait to try!
3. The Private Island – Kandolhu Island, Maldives
Kandolhu Island 3
If you’re going to go down the private island route it makes sense to do it somewhere where there’s loads of them to go round. Since The Maldives is made up of nothing but islands that’s where I’d go. There’s nothing like arriving by seaplane to make you feel blissfully remote.
Granted since it’ll only be Henry and I travelling I may bump into one or two other people as there are 30 rooms but there’s enough sand to have your own patch of beach during the day or night so it can truly feel like a castaway experience (except for all the 5 star amazing facilities of course). It’ll be an overwater villa for me I think, with a Jacuzzi, natch, and with my free snorkelling gear and 4 restaurants to choose from I’ll have a very happy Easter indeed.
4. The Country House – Bella Luce Hotel, Restaurant and Spa, Guernsey
Coast Media: CM0628 Ian Walker. Bella Luce Hotel, St Martins.
When a hotel has ‘spa’ in the title I’m always happy. If the word has made it into the title it means they take their spa seriously. And I love a serious spa.
Guernsey for a Londoner provides all the excitement of a holiday but with such a short flight there’s barely time to undo your seatbelt. This 12th century country house is older than Christopher Columbus and Henry VIII put together, has an award-winning garden, roaring fires, and a big selection of rare vintage whiskies. And the food is top top notch. Could a country house break be any more perfect? I think not.

Suspense: An Honest Man / Beware the Quiet Man / Crisis
There have been at least two television series called simply Thriller, one made in the U.S. in the 1960s and one made in the UK in the 1970s. Although in no way linked, both series consisted of one-off dramas, each utilising the familiar motifs of the genre.
24 is a fast-paced television series with a premise inspired by the War on Terror. Each season takes place over the course of twenty-four hours, with each episode happening in real time. Featuring a split-screen technique and a ticking onscreen clock, 24 follows the exploits of federal agent Jack Bauer as he races to foil terrorist threats.
Lost, which deals with the survivors of a plane crash, sees the castaways on the island forced to deal with a monstrous being that appears as a cloud of black smoke, a conspiracy of Others who have kidnapped or killed their fellow castaways at various points, a shadowy past of the island itself that they are trying to understand, polar bears, and the fight against these and other elements as they struggle simply to stay alive and get out of the island.
Prison Break follows Michael Scofield, an engineer who has himself incarcerated in a maximum-security prison in order to break out his brother, who is on death row for a crime he did not commit. In the first season Michael must deal with the hazards of prison life, the other inmates and prison staff, and executing his elaborate escape plan, while outside the prison Michael's allies investigate the conspiracy that led to Lincoln being framed. In the second season, Michael, his brother and several other inmates escape the prison and must evade the nationwide manhunt for their re-capture, as well as those who want them dead.
Other examples include, Dexter, Breaking Bad, Criminal Minds, Without a Trace, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, The 4400, Medium, revenge, Numb3rs, The Twilight Zone and The X-Files.
NEW Play 2016 - sports of all sorts in Great Yarmouth
Great Yarmouth is blessed with all sorts of sporting action, whether you want to watch or to play.
In association with Greater Yarmouth
Dinghy and yacht racing takes place on the Broads at Rollesby and Filby as well as off Gorleston-on-Sea with racing most Sundays, the board walk and esplanade are both great viewing spots.
Spectators are also welcome to take their places in the centre court grandstand at the annual beach volleyball competition in June, it’s top-class beach volleyball played out right under your nose.
If you’d rather get in on the action, get your skates on at the indoor roller-skating rink, beat the other team at quasar laser, tee off at one of several seaside golf courses along the Greater Yarmouth coastline, or challenge the kids to an adventure themed 18 hole course. For something a little less energetic but no less exacting, enter the UK’s largest outdoor bowling championship in August, or just play a few woods at the Britannia Bowling Greens.
If watching is more your idea of a sporting day out, enjoy a day at the horse races at Great Yarmouth's racecourse overlooking the sea or round your day off with an evening at the Stadium watching thrilling stock car racing from the terraces or greyhound racing from the comfort of the restaurant, high above the racetrack.

Calling All Cars: The Wicked Flea / The Squealing Rat / 26th Wife / The Teardrop Charm
The radio show Calling All Cars hired LAPD radio dispacher Jesse Rosenquist to be the voice of the dispatcher. Rosenquist was already famous because home radios could tune into early police radio frequencies. As the first police radio dispatcher presented to the public ear, his was the voice that actors went to when called upon for a radio dispatcher role.
The iconic television series Dragnet, with LAPD Detective Joe Friday as the primary character, was the first major media representation of the department. Real LAPD operations inspired Jack Webb to create the series and close cooperation with department officers let him make it as realistic as possible, including authentic police equipment and sound recording on-site at the police station.
Due to Dragnet's popularity, LAPD Chief Parker became, after J. Edgar Hoover, the most well known and respected law enforcement official in the nation. In the 1960s, when the LAPD under Chief Thomas Reddin expanded its community relations division and began efforts to reach out to the African-American community, Dragnet followed suit with more emphasis on internal affairs and community policing than solving crimes, the show's previous mainstay.
Several prominent representations of the LAPD and its officers in television and film include Adam-12, Blue Streak, Blue Thunder, Boomtown, The Closer, Colors, Crash, Columbo, Dark Blue, Die Hard, End of Watch, Heat, Hollywood Homicide, Hunter, Internal Affairs, Jackie Brown, L.A. Confidential, Lakeview Terrace, Law & Order: Los Angeles, Life, Numb3rs, The Shield, Southland, Speed, Street Kings, SWAT, Training Day and the Lethal Weapon, Rush Hour and Terminator film series. The LAPD is also featured in the video games Midnight Club II, Midnight Club: Los Angeles, L.A. Noire and Call of Juarez: The Cartel.
The LAPD has also been the subject of numerous novels. Elizabeth Linington used the department as her backdrop in three different series written under three different names, perhaps the most popular being those novel featuring Det. Lt. Luis Mendoza, who was introduced in the Edgar-nominated Case Pending. Joseph Wambaugh, the son of a Pittsburgh policeman, spent fourteen years in the department, using his background to write novels with authentic fictional depictions of life in the LAPD. Wambaugh also created the Emmy-winning TV anthology series Police Story. Wambaugh was also a major influence on James Ellroy, who wrote several novels about the Department set during the 1940s and 1950s, the most famous of which are probably The Black Dahlia, fictionalizing the LAPD's most famous cold case, and L.A. Confidential, which was made into a film of the same name. Both the novel and the film chronicled mass-murder and corruption inside and outside the force during the Parker era. Critic Roger Ebert indicates that the film's characters (from the 1950s) represent the choices ahead for the LAPD: assisting Hollywood limelight, aggressive policing with relaxed ethics, and a straight arrow approach.
