“I’ve only been going fishing since April last year so I’m not been fishing long but with fishing I find it dead peaceful and calming even. You know there’s a lot of people my age and they mightn’t get up at 4 o’clock in the morning to go fishing. So sort of the reason it helps me is that I’m doing something that I like but the reason that I’m doing it is that I’m with lads that I get along with and I enjoy spending time with, you know what I mean. That’s what it’s like in here for me.”

“When it comes to fishing, when I fish and the sky’s coming up, I have a load of photos that I’ve taken just to picture it. Do you know when you’re setting up your rod, you hear the birds tweeting in the sky, you don’t really think. You’re just in………wherever, I don’t know how to word this. You’re just in that space, in that surrounding and you’re just taking it in in a sense and you’re enjoying it as well. A lot of times when I’ve been fishing and I’ve just…….just listened, listening to the silence, it just helps you sort of just, chill. Obviously, there’s a lot of times when you have a lot of ups and downs in life, that helps a lot with life’s ups and downs. With Sean’s place, that’s the big thing that helps me, sort of push myself to push through them downs. I don’t have many downs obviously but I think you know even if I have downs I’ve got the people here and when it comes to the activities here, everyone walks out with a smile on their face.“
