		<title>New Look</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#39;ve spent this evening updating the look of the site to something a little different. I&#39;ve also updated the format of the image gallery to something a little more slick.

		<title>Revived</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few years back I was given an old rod as a gift. It was in pretty good condition for it&#8217;s age, however one of the ferrules was loose and fishing with it was not an option, so I decided to completely refurbish it.
