Bill and Sonny Warren
I've had a letter from Bob Buteux asking me to put the following in the Barbel Society members magazine.
I spoke to him today and said it wasn't my job anymore and that the next issue is not until March next year, so I asked him if I could have his permission to put the detail on the internet.
This he gave and the following is his request:
I am writing with the hope of contacting any old acquaintances of the Warren brothers who maybe fished with or stayed with them at their boarding house in Southbourne.
I have many photographs and some ephemera about them, and my plan is to put a book together to tell of their exploits and fish they caught. What I need is additional written information to add to that of my own, from others who knew them, any stories of interest, snippets, in fact anything whatsoever about the lives of these two remarkable anglers.
Please message me if you have any thing for Bob and I'll give you his contact details.

Health
Had my 3 month check over for diabetes on Tuesday with the specialist nurse, still OK, so I continue to control the problem with diet,not drugs.
There was a show of a typically related protein in a urine sample given a few days before, so I now have one 5 mg tablet a day to take to ensure my kidneys are being looked after.
Next check up in 6 months
Holiday
We've booked our 40th wedding anniversary trip this week.
We shall be off to Helsinki for 3 nights, followed by a 12 night river cruise from St Petersburg to Moscow and all stops in between.
Looking forward to that already, a trip to these cities is something The Boss has wanted to do for some time.
Floods
I didn't make my usual trip down to Sutton on Trent this week because as reported on the Environment Agency site, levels were above the most recent highest level of January 2008. As it turned out they weren't that far off the highest level recorded.Photographs from the fishery head baliff.
