As I write this I am renegotiating […] It has been some time since I last fished for a full 9 hours.

Tenkara as described by my fishing buddy Atkins […] I have really been enjoying the wee burn that I discovered a few weeks ago. It is strange as I have worked near it for years and have always wanted to have a cast on it for just as long and it is only now that I have finally got around to it. I am […] Sadly, I had to attend a funeral as my first act of business for the day.
