A Fishy Tale

I proudly showed my Pocket Ochre Malden to my neighbour who noticed I was carrying it and asked to see it.

examined it, 

felt it well in his hands

rubbed his fingers over the outside thoughtfully


and remarked:

"Now that's some nice leather there. Reminds me of the over-tanned skin on the back of an old sun-dried fisherman!
