John Searle

Oh dear,..met John for the first time in his Ringwood shop some years ago,where he tempted me to empty my wallet on some of his brilliant artwork,..I will always remember our meetings on Ibsley.
I knew he was seriously ill and offer my sincere condolences to his family and many friends
at this sad time,..nice bloke,..good angler and very talented artist.
