I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete.

It's thanks to your recommendation I have one Shaun!

Very light and comfortable.

It is proving to be quite a lucky hat this one. I just had to get out for a couple of hours after dinner last night with the air pressure dropping from 1019 to 1015mb in a short space of time and the promise of rain.

2 hours angling produced the above fish as well as 2 others and a bonus tench too and still I was back home in front of the idiot box by 9 pm.

A pleasant evenings work and the drops of rain held off until I packed.

I enjoyed a social session with Martin Ford last week at an old quarry pool with delightful swim names such as 'Dead Dog'. Brook seemed a little uneasy settling down for the night there, no doubt thinking it could be her last night. The hat seemed rather appropriate though being taken along to the Harrison Ford social. :Hat:

Managed another hour and a half after dinner to-night. Conditions have been too good not to make the effort and again the lucky hat is remaining that way.

I've got an invite in the bank for that pool Shaun, maybe one day. Can't see Martin in a tarp hat though, not quite Essex enough for him :Chuckle:

But yours seems to be quite lucky, wanna sell it? :Happy:
