On this day in 1593 Izaak Walton was born

Post by Mark »

Did you know 419 years ago to this very day that Izaak Walton was born.

I think a toast in the pub is required tonight chaps. :thumb:

Happy Birthday, venerable Piscator!

I shall open a bottle in your honour this merry evening.

Excellent!

After a *hitty day a super excuse for yet another G & T with a slice of lime and ice. And when I finish I'll have another. Might even have to take 'er indoors to the Lands End at the weekend so I don't have to drive back. Can't let such an historic birthday go uncelebrated.
