Stuffing all my terminal tackle in a Oxo tin leaves one item of tackle un-protected, the float. Long waggler’s are always vulnerable to breakages so the Palmer Float Case is ideal, light and strong and can hold up to ten 14″ floats.

To store shorter floats I have come up the rather ingenious (I’ll say it myself) solution of using a cotton surgeons tool roll which looks like Efgeeco themselves could have stitched  it together. It can take up to around twenty floats and rolls up into a neat little bundle, this one is made by S Rampling of 8 Market street, Cambridge.

With the trout season now put to bed for the winter your fly boxes should be cleared out, properly dried and stored away from moths for the next few months. Here we have a natty little Malloch’s fly box suitable for a selection of small dry flies or nymphs.

The spring clip fly box can be a fiddle to use compared to modern foam versions but on special occasions when a small fly box is required that fits into your shirt pocket, this is ideal when stealing  a quick hour or two on a small stream in the summer months. Measuring just 2 1/4 x 3 1/2 inches this little fly box is perfect! A small box, for small flies, for delicate presentation.

Taking a few hours with Andrei Tarkovsky today, leaves you in a dream (or nightmare). Unsettling perhaps? Beautiful - definitely. Reassuringly unworldly? Oh yes. #andreitarkovsky #stalker

I’ve been here before but this is reassuringly familiar, an antidote to the boutique homogenous lifestyle that is rife in our city. Once it’s gone, it’s gone.

Last week we spread my parents ashes on the South Downs. In life they were inseparable, so we did the honourable thing and mixed their ashes with our own hands, returned them to the chalk on the Sussex Downs at a geographical point between birth, life and death.
