The two photographs shown are of my grandfather's eel glaive - they belonged to his grandfather- who had the glaive made by a member of the Evison family probably around 1850. The last time they were used was about 1955 by grandfather Trower and meself , when we caught a fairly large amount of eels, which my grandmother converted into an eel pie. Do you know, the more I write, the more I am convinced that I've told you this before, so I'll now apply the handbrake and stop this tale.
Today has been a pottering about the workshop sort of day. There was a hard frost this morning, I've just been out checking the car and locking up . There's a full moon tonight, and another hard frost, I think.
I wish you all a good night's sleep. I think perhaps tonight will be a hot water bottle night.

Did you see the the eclipse of the full moon early on Monday morning?
No, but I'm told it was a lovely sight!
