EDITORS COMMENTS
"In this charming photograph, we see RWF Willie Poole, a beloved writer, countryman, and humourist, engaging in the simple pleasure of shrimping on the rocky shores of Grange-over-Sands in Cumbria, England. Dressed in a pair of well-worn trousers and a red sweater, Willie's ample figure and knotted hankie around his waist add to the quintessential English seaside scene. With a determined look on his face and a shrimping net in hand, he hunches over a rock pool, searching for the elusive tiddlers that hide among the stones. The sun casts a warm glow over the coastline, and the sound of the gentle waves crashing against the shore adds to the tranquil atmosphere. A holidaymaker in the background can be seen enjoying the view, seemingly unfazed by Willie's unconventional fishing technique. Willie Poole, who passed away in 2017, was a prolific writer and master of foxhounds, known for his humorous and insightful observations of rural life. This image captures a moment of relaxation and joy in the simple pleasures of nature, a testament to his love for the countryside and the enduring appeal of traditional pastimes." This photograph, taken in the year 2000, is a poignant reminder of the joy and simplicity that can be found in the smallest of moments, and the enduring charm of the British coastline. It is a timeless image that continues to inspire and delight, and a fitting tribute to the memory of RWF Willie Poole.
