:Hat: A lovely job Lee, very well done.
Not a fish was visible that first time I visited Beechmere; an utter
stillness brooded over the place and I felt the strange and sinister atmosphere which, so the story goes,
has been the cause of several suicides.’

Very nice Lee!
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.

One from my 'Lottery List'" ... Lovely, Sir.

Do you know if you can still get the blanks from Chapmans for these ? They don't list them on their web site.

The Chapman’s F.J.Taylor 12′ 6″ 3 piece Roach Rod.

Thanks
