I can spend ages watching fishing, I did as a child with my Dad and do now in the summer - sat on the balcony and then after the anglers have gone I watch the carp arch out of the water almost in celebration.
It's the scenery, Naomi. You'd feel a nana just sat by the side of a river.
Like those people who get dogs so they can go out walking without feeling like a peeping tom.
Or kids so I can go to Bristol Zoo without feeling 'odd'.
