...because she was presented with her first Welsh cap yesterday.




Spent the weekend with the rest of the Welsh Ladies' International Fly-Fishing Team at Trawsfynyyd in North Wales for training, practice, plus a friendly Welsh Inter-Teams match yesterday.
We had a presentation ceremony afterwards where the new Welsh caps got their, well, Welsh caps - one to wear and one for the wall.

I will even admit to getting a small tear in my eye...

If I appear to look a bit *fixed smile* I am.
I was on my knees with exhaustion.

Gratters.
I did briefly wonder what a fishing trumpet was.

Because I was so knackered I could barely stand mochyn.
I arrived home at 9pm last night and had to be back on my feet at 9am in Aber today, teaching International Contractual Agreements in Advanced Commercial Law...whilst feeling as if I had been run over by a fully laden Land Rover and buggered by a herd of angry Rhino.
