Dad had a way with words, he was informative, descriptive, creative and persuasive. He regularly posted reports on the fishing forums, he wrote short stories and insightful poems, but did you know that he once wrote a book? An account of his career as a Water Bailiff called Turning Back The Tide, a body of work that was only shared with a select few people, that he mulled over for years whether or not to publish. Well now is the time to share his story, his experience, his life, in his words. I hope you enjoy this selection of stories and poems. Emma Coulling (daughter)
