‘The Way of the Hermit’ is out everywhere tomorrow! Thank you so much, on behalf of Ken and myself, to everyone who has pre-ordered a copy. I hope you love reading about Ken’s extraordinary life as much as I’ve loved pulling this wonderful story together. #newbook #offgrid

A lovely second chuck chub for the boy and I on a new stretch of the Wye today. I honestly thought we might have a very busy afternoon on our hands, but that was actually the only bite we had, as we jumped from slack-to-slack down a very swollen river.

Heart-stopping fight on the LRF gear at Weymouth Harbour this afternoon! Just a tiny hook and ultralight tackle down the edge of the wall for a few pretty micro-species (whilst we were crabbing with the family 🦀) and along came this belting bass!

Just in the queue in Barry screwfix and a local builder is telling another how he has just chopped half his finger off with a circular saw. “They could’ve reattached it but they said I wouldn’t be able to use my hand for a few months, so I said ‘no chance’” 1/2

2/2 “Anyway…” He wiggles what’s left of his perfectly smooth finger stump, “…it’s perfect for siliconing now!” He smiles. His mate laughs. They leave. People around here are very funny and very hard. BTW. This is the 6-inch long pipe I need for my fish tank 😬
