I would not eat fish from polluted water if I knew about it. That’s the problem, though, with so much of our seafood coming from farming operations in other countries. Concentrations of fish or shellfish with their waste eliminated in crowded conditions, medications to control diseases resulting from the crowding, lack of oversight by authorities—disgusting! Of course, farmed seafood costs less than wild seafood, which is the reason the American shrimp industry is in decline. Personally, I would rather pay more to eat wholesome seafood from the ocean. You really do get what you pay for.
Yes, just enjoying nature is enough for many of us. My son sent a video of his girls hunting Easter eggs on his dad's forested property in Washington state. He put up signs identifying landmarks like Hazelnut, Deer Platform, Small Folk Trail, and 1st grader Sophie could try to read them. They followed a mown trail through the woods, led by their Grandpa's dog, picking up eggs, candy, a book each, and a stuffed toy. It was a magical outing for them. I sit in my backyard this time of year and listen to the purple martins, white-winged doves, cardinals, mockingbirds, the occasional brown thrasher or Bewick's wren, and others preparing to raise families. Sorry the fishing rules are so onerous in England. But you have already discovered the joy of just being in nature. Happy Easter week!
That sounds like an epic Easter egg hunt. I love it. That's such a creative idea, so much more fun than just running around looking for eggs in flower beds.
Of course it rained today. We have the right gear for such weather now, so we had a long walk through some woods with the dogs anyway. I'm no good at identifying the flora and fauna but enjoy it anyway.
