A Tweedside Sketch
A Tweedside Sketch begins with an unvarnished admission of the narrator’s long-standing flaw—carelessness. It’s not born of laziness, but of a restless temperament that overlooks the small things.

Chapter 20 – “The Treadmill”

Chapter XX – The Compleat Angler
Chapter XX – The Compleat Angler draws its wisdom from Piscator’s reflections on the design and management of fish-ponds, inspired by Doctor Lebault’s detailed advice from “Maison Rustique.” Emphasis is placed on building a durable pond structure that withstands environmental wear while sustaining fish life. Reinforcing the pond head with oak or elm that’s been properly scorched helps guard against rot, significantly extending its lifespan. Between these beams, smaller pieces of wood and…-
