I am very aware of the fact I have written a blog for a couple of weeks, and it isn’t due to the fact I haven’t got anything to write about. In fact, it’s quite the opposite, I have a lot I wish to write about, just short on the time. From a record sales…
The Fishing Industry : From The Catch To Your Plate
The whole industry is a powerfully emotive issue. From the houses of parliament, to newspapers and television to social media, individual fishermen to whole communities are fighting for their rights and fair deal from Brexit. I’l state here and now at the outset, that I don’t pretend to be knowledgeable on the whole issue, because…

The Fishing Industry, Not Just An Industry But A Community
If you follow me on any form of social media, you’ll know my 1st holiday of 2018 has been a packed one. Each time I visit Grimsby, it’s harder to return to Stoke On Trent. I love my family, friends and home town very much, but with Grimsby and Cleethorpes, there is such a…
The Adventures Of The Girlyfishmonger
Hello to my lovely readers of my blogging adventures. I fear it’s been a little while since I published a blog. It’s not due to the fact that I’ve had nothing to write about, in fact it’s the other way around. I’ve almost TOO much to write about. In a way that is a good…

Tomorrow at 9am is exactly 4 months and myself and Nicola will be starting out on our 134 mile trek from my fish counter in Stoke On Trent, to Flatfish Ltd in Grimsby. I’ve written at least 2 blogs about the Fishermen’s Mission and why me and Nicola will be walking 134 miles…
My 3 Year Girlyfishmonger Anniversary
Hi to all my lovely readers. This blog is more of a personal thoughts, feelings and aspirations than my other blogs. I’ve been “trawling” through my literally 100s photos to do with my fishy journey, actually just over a 1,000 photos! This year has, for want of a better phrase, been a complete rollercoaster. Massive…
The Plague Of Plastic, Not Only In Our Seas And What Is Being Done To Combat It
At the moment, the highest television audiences on a Sunday evening are not for a singing contest, but an incredible documentary called Blue Planet 2. It not only has the most incredible camera work, narration and accompanying music, but also contains sobering scenes and warnings. In one episode, there was a scene of a family of…
Why Walk From Stoke On Trent to Grimsby For The Fishermens Mission?

At 9am, Wednesday 18th April 2018, myself and best friend and fellow salmon slayer, Nicola Rowbotham will start the walk from my Fish Counter…

What Makes Great Grimsby Great?
I have alluded to my love of Grimsby in previous blogs, along with other fishing towns, especially Brixham and Peterhead. (Please don’t get jealous Newlyn, I’ll visit you one day, I promise x) However, I’m finding I spend more time heading to Grimsby or at least planning. It could be that it’s the closest…
The Humber Seafood Summit 2017
The Humber Seafood Fayre and Summit-Grimsby 2017 It may surprise some of my readers to know that I write my blogs on my smart phone. This is mainly due to the fact that I write my blogs whilst I’m on my lunch break at work. I never use predictive text as…
