On this day 330 years ago Izaak Walton departed from this very earth.
A toast tonight is called for gentlemen.

A 'Chichester' will be raised this evening.
(That's what we refer to as 'a small port' in the AC household)

And another snippet about I.W. for those in the South-East. Izaak Walton was married to Rachel Floud at St Mildred's Church, Canterbury, on the 27th December 1626.
The church backs on to the River Stour, which Walton certainly knew - he refers to the large Forditch [Fordwich] trout to be found therein - now thought to be sea-trout.
