Petunia's previous home had been near a forest, so she had become adept at finding and cutting wood. But fishing was a very new activity for her. Even more so because she had bought a boat and had to teach herself how to make it go where she wanted - and without tipping her out into the icy lake.

After nearly falling out of the boat a couple of times, she had started to get the hang of rowing. And then of pulling up her net without overbalancing. So she'd felt quite proud that her first day's fishing had resulted in being able to take home two fish. One she had donated to the town hall, and had put the other up for sale, just so that she hadn't wasted the day.

The next day she went out cheerfully, despite the bad weather, in the hopes of getting another fish or two. But she quickly realised that wouldn't be possible because the lake was completely frozen over. Disappointed, she returned home.

But on the third day, although it was still very cold, she could at least get the boat into the water and row it out towards the middle of the lake. After the first day, she'd wondered whether she might catch more if she had something to entice the fish into her net. After a bit of thought, this time she'd attached a few bits of worm to the net, and now she cast it into the water and sat quietly with its ropes in her hands.

She sat. And she sat. And she sat some more.

After some time, when she had looked around at the pretty scenery, and looked down into the water, and thought a bit about life and everything, she felt the ropes in her hands move. The net seemed to be tugging, which was encouraging - there must be something in it, she decided. So she pulled on the ropes and when she got the net up into the board, was thrilled to find three fish.

As she returned to the shore and packed up her things to go home, she wondered whether to eat one of the fish. But then there was the lottery to consider, so perhaps a fish supper could wait and she would donate a couple to the town hall and sell the third, she decided.

Lavinia returned to the lake the following day, however it was frozen solid. Not sure what could be done, she considered walking on the frozen surface and using her axe to make a hole in it and fish like that. She approached the ice and gave it a good look before stepping onto it and taking several steps. However, the ice almost immediately began to squeak, getting louder with each step she took. Perhaps I shouldn't tempt fate, she concluded and then slowly and very carefully walked back to the firm land. Not wishing to waste the day by doing nothing, Lavinia went to the University instead and followed one of the classes that were offered. How to influence people... yes, that might be useful at some point, she thought and took her seat in the warm classroom.

It was snowing the next day, but thankfully there was no wind so the weather was bearable, though still very cold. And so to the lake she went again, fingers crossed in hope that it would be possible to do some fishing. Once there she was happy to see that the ice had melted. Just like the first day, Lavinia rowed her boat until she reached a point that was far enough from the shore. There she threw her net into the water and waited for the fish to get caught in it.

Her luck was better today, three fish were caught and she went to the Town Hall to make a donation.

Donovan and Nikola went fishing again, and this time Orla went with them. The two dogs seemed eager to outdo each other and by the time Nikola had brought her boat back to shore, she had four fish to show for the day's efforts. She rewarded the two retrievers with chunks of beef that she "stole" from Cook's larder and spent some time just playing with them until all three were tired out. While the dogs napped, Nikola took her fish over to the Town Hall to deliver the catch to Mayor Ella.

She really ought to be studying for her new profession of weaving, but the lake was too enticing to resist, and Petunia was really starting to get the hang of it.

This time, she felt reasonably safe in the little rowing boat, and not as if she was about to fall into the cold water. And she baited the net quite well, so again she found three lovely looking fish in it when she pulled it up. She donated two of them to the town hall, and put the third up for sale.

Another snowy day, but Nikola and the dogs persevered and together they caught another 4 fish before deciding it was too cold to stay out on the lake any longer. After docking the boat, she and the dogs raced into the house (Donovan won, Orla right on his tail. Nikola was a distant 3rd!). More treats for the dogs and then the three of them snuggled up in front of the fire while Ben carried their catch to the Town Hall.
