It was a partially cloudy day today, not much sun but enough to fish out by the sea. I was collecting my fishing gear when scatty my dog came over expecting another treat i told him it'd have to wait until I got back because I can't miss another chance to sell my fish at the local market I leave and take my usual way of getting there.

Now I've finally arrived I can set up the gear. I take out the fishing pole and attach the lining to it, I look up to see the weather for any rain or storm clouds but I see a woman with a camera she wasn't around from my village, she might be a tourist or someone just visiting. I say hello and give a friendly wave she just waves back and doesn't respond with her voice just waves back. I continue to set up the gear. Once I've set up the gear and sit down I see her heading into the forest. I just ignore it and continue fishing.

The time is coming up to 4:45 pm. I start to pack up and head to the market to sell my fish I caught 4 cods and 6 haddock's I keep 2 fish separate for me and scat's dinner tonight. Once I've made it to the market I see that woman I say hello again but this time she ignores me so I just carry on with my day I see my mate Sam and ask him if he's seen the woman but he says no no-one has ever seen her before...
