...with a Story to TellHave a look at our latest acquisition, an unremarkable Robert Turnbull reel with a remarkable story, read it HERE
Didn't See That Coming...Some of you may remember my "Museum Assistant" our tortoiseshell cat, Millie. Millie also had an adopted brother called Socks who appeared in our garden looking very thin and eating the bread we had put out for the birds. After much persuasion and negotiation with Millie, he was allowed to move in and both of them became important in our lives, and in each others. Just a week after my last post in this blog, on Twelfth Night we lost Socks, and almost exactly 24 hours later my little Museum Assistant died as well. Any of you that don't have pets might find it hard to understand why this should cause a break in the activities of the Museum, but for quite a while I didn't feel much like doing anything, and then of course, everything changed, and we were plunged into lockdown with all its attendant uncertainties.
More than a year on, and I am pleased to say things at Whiteadder's Fly Fishing Museum are slowly returning to normal. New acquisitions are coming in with their own stories to tell so watch this space, stay safe and be kind to each other... |
