I had not heard of it. Now I have. The trailer leaves me with mixed impressions.

It's a quality movie, if you like sheep, zombies, teenaged humor, and a really low budget.

Of course youve never heard of it...its from New Zealand....they act as if they have more sheep than anywhere...but I can tell you we have way more here in Australia...we have Wolf Creek....but they have Meet The Feebles....I had not heard of it. Now I have. The trailer leaves me with mixed impressions.

Happy Labour Day! (May 1st here).
That day you don't need any license to sell lily of the valley (lucky charm), there's tables in every street's corner. This one comes from the garden and for once is just in time!
Talkin' 'bout luck, what better illustration than this 14TC, a cherished present from Our
Charlie!

Here’s one for
Jack Black
:
Found in my mother’s cupboard when I went looking for tea to make for her. She hasn’t been to Yorkshire in probably 20 years or more, so I assume she bought it stateside.
She spent a good part of her childhood near Harrogate before moving south to Hampshire, and used to go back there regularly to visit a childhood friend.
It might be wise to keep the sheep away from it - apparently they are terrifying enough as is, without being wired on caffeine…

About luck. This lily of the valley was picked in the woods while a cuckoo was singing (so to speak). I had time to put a coin in my hand. Back home I checked that the mountain ash I planted years ago is growing straight and tall. Now i know GEC will make a four blades Congress pattern and i will afford to buy at least two of them.
If not, the word "Luck" doesn't mean anything.

I live very close to Harrogate myself Let me know if there's anything your mother wants sending over. I'll post a few pics for now (if you know where she lived in the area, maybe I have some other pics) 
Thank you so much, Jack - that is an amazing and generous offer. Sadly, her dementia has progressed to the point where she remembers very little, so nothing will mean much to her now. If she does mention a specific place or item, I will let you know.Thanks a lot Tom

Some of your "talismans" are new to me, Dan!! I hope you get those Congress knives you are hoping for!!
Mountain Ash Makes good walking sticks, if the "suckers" grow good and straight!!
I hope you all enjoyed May Day/Labour Day!!

I've indeed many "talismans", for many things, health, long life, money. For money, it doesn't work.
Thanks for your good whishes about the Congress pattern, my favorite one, elegant, comfortable with redundant mains and secondaries.
The mountain ash, also named "Rowan" is a mythologic tree in North Europe. It does make excellent walking sticks. For the mechanical qualities of this wood (similar to that of ash), for its durability and perhaps also because according to legend, one who travels with a stick of that wood will not be lost.
