Good Morning Guardians. I’ve kept up with reading the posts and giving likes, but with the breakneck pace, I took a little break. I actually started reading a book again. As of late, I’ve taken a deep dive into English History. My goodness. How fascinating.

Thank you all for letting me be a part of this group.

Here’s the book I’ve started with

I read that last year and thought it was very good. It’s an overview, and moves along, but I think that’s a great perspective.

It is hard to believe Santa Clara ever looked like that!
Your '19 is lookin' good, Darren.
You're not the only one having a hard time keeping up with this thread. I just look at it as a good thing for the future of the Lambsfoot and catch and enjoy what I can. I hope things are not too stressful for ya.... and I agree this is a good place to decompress.

Alderman Ptolemy Tortoise from Jeremy Fisher? Big Beatrix Potter fan here also Kenneth Graeme's Wind in the Willows. Potter was a remarkable artist as well who observed animals in the wild.

Ding ding ding! You guessed it!

I also love Graeme and Potter. There is a part of the play where Potter writes a science paper on the generation of the spores of agaricineae

Harvey, that Hunter and Son has so much character! How old is it? Did you order it or find it in person?

Hello Preston. Thank you. It was offered as a “Buy it Now” on the well known Auction site at a ridiculously low price. It was shipped from Australia. I’m a novice when it comes to dating the Lambsfoot. I will say that it’s older than me.:) Headmaster Jack said he would look into it.

The Hunters liked naming their men Michael(the first was in the 18th Century), and some became Master Cutlers. My best guess is that the knife was made somewhere between late 19th and the first two decades of the 20th century. Of course Jack would point out that names and hallmarks are often acquired from the original owners,

D Dschal That sounds great. An overview is a great place to start.

JTB_5 JTB_5 You look quite spiffy, Joshua, as does your AC.

JohnDF JohnDF Both rib and Lambsfoot look tasty, John.

I couldn't agree with you more GT! Never been so smitten with a knife. Thank you.

Jack Black said:
Thanks Dwight, how did it sharpen up? It sure looks good in your photo

It sharpened up quite nicely with little effort Jack. GT hit the nail on the head. These lambs are superb on so many levels. Thank you my friend.

Ahhh pvc piping. Of course! Thanks Dwight. :thumbsup: I'm thinking of building a bird table this summer and I'm determined to stop them little Yankee squigges nicking all the feed :D
And that's a fantastic photo to :thumbsup: The contrast of the blade with the green is great to see

Thanks David. I don't think some folks realize how bad it can get. I am not proud to say this but when I had all I could take and set about eradicating them I stopped counting at 175. I have offered atonement and we coexist peacefully now. Looking forward to seeing the bird table project get underway.
