The Difference Punctuation Can Make
Dear John,
I want a man who knows what love is all about. You are generous, kind, thoughtful. People who are not like you admit to being useless and
inferior. You have ruined me for other men. I yearn for you. I have no feelings whatsoever when we're apart. I can be forever happy - will you let
me be yours?

The sight of all those old books has tempted me to resurrect this classic thread from last year and post this list of what the 17th century tackle tart took to the bank.
"Whenever you go out to fish, fail not to have with you, viz. A good Coat for all Weathers. An Apron to put your Ground-Bait, Stones, and Paste in. A Basket to put your Fish in. A neat Rod of about four Foot long, in several pieces, one with another. Two or three Lines fitted up, of all sorts. Spare Hooks, Links, Floats, Silk, Wax, Plummetts, Caps and a Landing Nett."
William Gilbert (1676)
And not a glimmer of stainlees steel anywhere Gaffer!!

Thanks for finding this Elton - I'm assuming part 1 has already gone for auction - pity! I'm going to go to one of the viewings after work - there are some advantages of working in London.

Now THAT's gotta be worth a try. I've got one of those at work - might have to 'borrow' it!
...And I would guess now's the time to start scaring them - if they don't nest they can't breed....

At last some good news??
There is a storm drain 100 yards in front of where I live. It has been the home for voles ever since we moved here in 1987. That was until a couple of years ago when they disappeared within a year. Well there back!!! I've just been for a quiet stroll and in a 200 yards or so of bank spotted 5 individuals. As many as I've spotted in the past 5 years (& I often look out for them!) There has been some efforts to trap mink in the Kennet valley over the last 18 months - maybe this is the first sign those efforts are beginning to work?
Whatever they're a welcome sight!

Sad....so sad.
The Whitham was the first river I fished regularly as a kid. We lived in Grantham at the time my father died and I used to catch sticklebacks with a 3 foot rod and 2¾in centre-pin (I was 6 at the time.) I will always remember my father taking me, despite being very ill, and using my tackle, casting across the river to catch dace. Fond (& distant memories).

Angling Quotations
in Coarse Fishing
Posted
"I say, put your hook, I mean the arming-wire, through his mouth, and out at his gills; and then with a fine needle and silk sew the upper part of his leg, with only one stitch, to the arming-wire of your hook; or tie the frog’’s leg, above the upper joint, to the armed-wire; and, in so doing, use him as though you loved him, that is, harm him as little as you may possibly, that he may live the longer."
The Compleat Angler
Can you imagine the 'faff' involved in trying to do THAT to a live frog in order to "use him as though you loved him"
