Can anyone shed any light on this float that I have had knocking about for a while. It is a 5" home made job, painted like a Peacock and marked "Eternal Lambs" on one side and Fennels Float "Beechmere 99" on the other.

Might be something to do with Fennel who is a member on here, there's a link to his website on members details.

Martin Herrington posts as Beechmere on Instagram and has fished with Fennel. I would guess it's one of Martin's.

Lovely spoon, only for left-handed persons, I assume?

I contacted Fennel and he replied with the following. Hope this helps Fredline.

Yes this was once my float. It was made for me by Dave 'Phinehas' Foley and painted by his wife Emma. Quite possibly on our last trip there together. We called ourselves 'The Eternal Lambs' in reference to Keats, Byron and Shelley. It was a poetry circle writing with a purity of heart about life's adventures. I most likely sold the float in 2004.

There seems to be a "silence" from the other lambs :Chuckle:
