I needed cheering up ... and something to look forward to ... and what could be better than to start to make plans for next year !!!
The chance came along for me to become the custodian of a rod to put a smile on most people's faces ... and I now have a virtually mint Hardy's "The Perfection Roach" in original bag ... with the serial number E 80453 ... which I believe dates it to 1951 ... meaning it will celebrate it's 70th. birthday in 2021 ... just as i will !!!
