Sorry about the delay in publishing this March Blog but I’ve been doing far too much fishing of late and when time can be freed up the paid work has to come first. I have to pay the bills somehow! If the writing appears rushed or the imagery falls below the normal high standards I [...]

Back in 1992 I wrote a series for David Hall called Tales From The Riverbank – Dear Diary in which I recounted stories about what I’d been up to in recent weeks. It was arguably a template for the blogs we read today on the Internet. Here’s part five. Just click on the Image and [...]

Can you believe Christmas is almost here? I can’t. Where did the summer go? It’s another year over, a new one just begun and all that.
