A glimpse of the wardrobe

Post by Leigh »

Well its hard to believe that I last posted on the forum in August 2018, and just like the chronicles of narnia by C.S. Lewis i found the wardrobe again, and decided to look inside, deep within the archives and the full unlocked area for members only, not just the limited areas for casual browsers.

It was lovely to see some of you at Romsey, on Sunday, some quite naturally walked passed not recognising the 4 years of warn torn age that has been bestowed upon me, but I have fond memories of enjoying some of your company at "The Moat" and other adventures that I have been fortunate to participate in, through membership of this forum.

Will enjoy reading the articles that I have missed over these past four years, and will add my own input to the topics ,when time permits.

Apart from being a keen traditional angler, my interests are being creative with analogue and digital cameras ( a recent find being a 1915 Butchers carbine 122 film camera, that was thrown away, of which I have bought back to life and will post more on in the future) And developing my penmanship skills with dip pens and brushes in the victorian/ edwardian styles of artwork.

Currently I'm working on a scrapper board style project , putting ideas down of a pike illustration.

Look forward to reading your posts

Hi Leigh, Nice to see you back, I hope you are keeping well and have still found time for fishing?
Lovely pike illustration, that's a talent, I can't draw for toffee 😁

It was great to see you Leigh, I definitely recognised you! :Ok: I am pleased that you will again be active on the forum, it has been too long! I am pleased that you recognised me, I cannot have aged too much in the last four years, even if I feel like I have! :surrender:
