\"\"<\/a>I feel extremely touched and moved to have been sent some books by the legendary river angler Brian Bennett! For those who don\u2019t know, Brian was one of the very best river anglers in the country and really made a name for himself fishing the \u2018big stick\u2019 on places like the River Avon. Sadly ill health means he can no longer fish and he has been on dialysis for over 20 years. He has raised no end of money for charities and also famously did a comedy drag act that I\u2019ve heard loads about but sadly never ever got to see.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Brian now spends his forced retirement writing books, such as the three I\u2019ve now proudly got in my possession. One is for me and the other two are for Katie! I\u2019ve already dipped into \u2018A Badsey Boy<\/em>\u2019 and there are loads of nostalgic short stories I can relate to with names of now and yesteryear all mentioned.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Katie has enjoyed sitting with me reading some of \u2018The Naughty Gnome<\/em>\u2019, although we might have to do that in instalments as it\u2019s sometimes a game of turning the pages as fast as she can at the moment! The other children\u2019s book is \u2018A Walk With Grandad Along The River Avon<\/em>\u2019 which I\u2019m sure she\u2019ll really grow into reading, too. I know Brian also has a book on Fairies which is coming out very soon.<\/p>\n

Once again a huge thanks to Brian and if you\u2019re after more details on his writings, visit his website: www.brianbennettbooks.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\t\t
