When Gramp tied these thin-bodied ephemerella, as he referred to as them, on size-eighteen hooks, their faded eco-friendly our bodies and diaphanous grey wings reminded us of tiny, unmoored sailboats, and whilst the duns themselves have been adrift upon the outside of the pool, we watched as a whole armada of smooth, translucent ships spun and took flight.

My daughter used to always like the city life, said it toughened her up, but that’s not really true. She liked being anonymous, walking down the street, changing her curtains, buying a new car, and not having a couple hundred other people commenting on these things, which is the way it is out here.
