"Kelvin's happy place is the River Severn, which has flowed through his veins and drenched his memory cells since he was knee high. To share Kelvin's love of angling and to feel the enthusiasm and joy it has brought him and still brings him, through his writing, is a delight."
Nick Fisher, creator and writer of Screaming Reels, Dirty Tackle and The River Cottage Book of Fish.
Halcyon days are recollected for anglers and all lovers of rivers, lakes, and the British (and Australian!) countryside in this heart-warming personal memoir set throughout the seasons. From warm summer evenings to midwinter madness fishing in temperatures of minus five degrees, this collection of stories will delight anglers and non-anglers alike.
Born in a Shropshire village near the River Severn, the river, its fishing, its countryside, and its history has featured strongly throughout Kelvin's life from an early age. From early casts for perch, barbel and chub (without too much success, as you will read) at Ironbridge and Jackfield, to adulthood fishing for barbel and chub (with marginally more success) at Buildwas, Atcham and Bewdley, the river has always been a place of peace and retreat, away from the stresses of work and modern life.
Kelvin is a published author in the areas of business, finance, accounting, and personal finance, but has always had the desire to write a book about the river which has featured so much in his life, and which has bought him so much pleasure over the years. This is that book.
