Gone Fishing!



Simon Dodd was unavailable for an interview this summer. He's up with the sun, and waist deep in the river until dusk.
We dropped by to take a few photos, and found a garden full of healthy lettuce, cabbage, broccoli, tomatoes, and even a few rows of corn - a crop we've been warned is very difficult!
