It would have been Dick Walker's birthday today, Happy Birthday Dick.
Luckily for me I know another Dick Walker.

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).

I was reading Still Water Angling early this morning, a book that changed angling for the better. RIP Dick you gave me so much.

Hats off to you Dick, sadly missed but happily remembered.
I was fortunate enough to have met him once as a boy.

The close season is an important and interesting time for the Angler who set out to catch big fish. It is a timely opportunity for him to make new tackle or renovate old. There are no end of jobs to do, apart from those horrible things called Gardens!
