Jim, very sorry to hear of your family's loss.
Good afternoon, I am late on here, keep thinking I will catch up when the rain arrives, so far there have only been short showers and each time umpteen new pages have been added.
Regarding rural stinks, we are surrounded by dairy farms. There is no finer way to clear the head, morning or night, than to step outside after they have been spreading some ripe manure.
Ron, I often see woodpeckers with their tales braced up against a tree trunk, yours looks far more graceful bending the other way.
Ken, I have never tasted eel in a pie, it is more associated with London and adjacent counties. A good pork pie with aspic jelly (gelatin) over the meat is one of my favourite occasional treats. We have a wonderful small shop in town that still makes them by hand Powells Pies
Mostly, good to see you enjoying the new fly rod.
Is it a top of the range rod from Oyster, or one that you could get without selling a kidney ?
Don, your raised bed looks as good as the freshly ploughed soil on my neighbour's field. He was at it well into the night to get it ready before the rain makes it hard going. I guess your neighbours would have something to say if you tried tilling by moonlight.
