Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

Jack Black - Thank you kindly, Jack. That’s a sweet looking old Lamb.

LOL! Have a great evening out Dave, I'm sure you will



Not mine I'm afraid Harvey, there are usually a few of them in most town centres here (less than in the past though), so I will have to try and get a better pic when they start to appear again, probably in a week or two Beautiful photo my friend

I know we have all joked and commiserated with Dave dc50 , who always seems to be the last to get any form of delivery from over here. I'd advise you never to order anything from Italy Dave! A friend of mine went on holiday to Naples at the beginning of April, and sent me and a few other friends postcards, they arrived yesterday - posted on April 3rd! I could have walked to Naples in that time!

Thank you, Jack Five months for delivery! they must have some expat Canadians working there.

Friday evening here, and I think I'm going to watch a film and have a few beers, and have some of the hazelnuts I picked Discovering that Turkish Hazelnut tree has been the highlight of my week, I'll be down there with a sack next year!

I was planning to go to an antiques fair in Harrogate tomorrow, but I've just realised it's actually NEXT weekend So we're off to York instead. Going to carry this chunky two-blade Needham, a thoughtful gift from Duncan @Campbellclanman Hope everyone has a great weekend

I've got my two-blade A. Wright in my pocket today and will carry it through at least the weekend into next week.

Good choice Jack Jack Black .

That's a shame John, are they not available where you live?

I'm sure they have roasted chestnuts here, I just never really thought to try them.

Took a hike on a beautiful Fall day with this Lambsfoot, a gift from Jack Black.

It was the first thing that popped in my head when I saw that hazelnut husk.

Thanks Kevin, your 18 and bagels are looking scrumptious.

Me too Kevin My dad was a machine-tool fitter at James Neill Tools (Eclipse) for 30-odd years. I don't know what he was like at work, maybe he was completely different, but I have rarely met a man who was more clueless and incompetent with his hands!

I always enjoyed that episode as a kid! Thanks mate That looks like a healthy snack


Morning Guardians, soon be the weekend

You ever hear the saying " The painter's house never gets painted." ?
I never get tiered of seeing that Unity.

T G I F!

That is one excellent post, Mark.

Today marks our 50th Wedding Anniversary.

Thank you for your kind words about my '18 and my bagel building skills.

50 years is quite the accomplishment! Congratulations to you and the missus!!!!

I highly recommend chestnuts. Unfortunately, I only see them in the grocery stores down here around Thanksgiving. Sometimes they are good, and sometimes they're already getting moldy.
Traditionally, you cut an X in the shell to let out the steam (a perfect job for a lambsfoot) and roast 'em. I'm lazy and have cut myself enough times doing that, that I just chop them in half. Put them cut side down on foil or a pan and cook them in the toaster oven. It makes me very nostalgic. My mother and I took a trip to Italy many years back, and we would buy a bag and take turns holding it to warm up our hands. (she's vegan, and it was a favorite "street food" we could both enjoy)

Have a great weekend, Guardians!

Happy weekend Guardians! I'm about 2 weeks behind due to my move and there's no chance I'll catch up but I hope all are doing well.

Henry looks cool.

Thank you, Cudgee! He does make me smile, but he's a wild child!

You're rivaling Harvey for clever and cool backgrounds.

Thank you for the kind words, John!
Harvey's Foto-Fu is quite strong!

Well done on the photo Dennis

Thank you so kindly, Dave!!

Glad Henry did well Dennis. Great pics my friend!

Thank you very much, Mark! I didn't think we'd get so attached to him this fast!

The owner of the restaurant came out to speak to me, and told me that in the four years she had been there, it was the first time they'd seen the strange husks. I had not seen them before, and took a few photos, and a few of the nuts to identify them. I think they're Turkish Hazelnuts.

Looks familiar...

That is kind of scary looking, kind of like some underwater alien creature... Maybe I just watch too much Sci Fi.

Morning Guardians, soon be the weekend

That is a wonderful shot of a great knife, Jack!! You also have a great weekend as well!

Good Friday Guardians, today I carry my stag Pere David.

Never get tired of seeing that one, José!

T G I F!

Awsome photo, Mark! Albeit a little macabre... Such great ebony!

Today marks our 50th Wedding Anniversary.

Good Morning Guardians on a rainy day, here.

Incredible! Don't know what else to say, Harvey!!

Great ebony, Kevin! More sausage tacos?

Great picture of your Hartshead and those arrowheads are very, very cool.

Have a great weekend, all!

You too, my friend. I hope this weekend finds you well.

Thank you, that's a nice photo and a nice bunch of arrowheads. I've never purposely hunted for them, but I used to find one from time to time.

It's supposed to rain today, and only get up to 96 degrees.
Maybe pictures from last year will bring the cold front:

Thank you, Rachel! These are from my childhood romping around out in the country side.

Hope it does cool off for you guys! That photo should bring you good mojo!
