The most precious places in the English landscape are those secretive corners,
where you find only elder trees, nettles and dreams. (BB - Denys Watkins-Pitchford).

Definitely and still I remind anglers of his quote which has never been so apt as it is now...
"I am a Brother of the Angle, and therefore an enemy to the otter".
Izaak Walton - The Compleat Angler (1653).

I will share a few moments this evening, reading by candlelight as I prefer.

Really surprised that this thread didn't receive more posts.
Last night, I did as I said I would.

One of the very first TFF days out was to visit the tome of Izaak in Winchester Cathedral, it was a great day out, here are a few pictures. We went on to fish the River Itchen after.

Excellent, I must make the effort one day for it is somewhere I have not visited and really feel I should.
Another one for the bucket list before I kick mine.

Excellent! Whilst fishing on Sunday my son said to me, whilst I was clunking about, "one must study to be quiet Dad" and silly me didn't realise he was quoting good old Isaak.
