Fishing… Fishing and Fishing

Steve was a man of simple pleasures, with a deep passion for fishing that seemed to flow through his veins. Every opportunity he had, he would eagerly pack up his rods and tackle, alongside his beloved family, for a fishing weekend in Chester. Camping by the river, he would patiently teach his grandchildren the art of fishing, hoping to pass on his enthusiasm to the next generation. Despite the growing collection of rods and gear that filled their home, Steve's wife, Shelia, embraced his passion with a resigned smile. She knew that this was an integral part of who Steve was, and she wouldn't have wanted him any other way.
