Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

Morning Guardians. With Dan wrapping up the series (which I'm sure we've all enjoyed immensely), I'll join him in carrying my ebony today :)

Now here in the UK we know of John Paul Jones as the U.S Navy commander who defeated the Royal Navy in a battle off the Yorkshire coast. I'm sure this is well known history for you folks; not so well known here in the UK.

I've got to say I have enjoyed everyone's slingshot input. I have an old Milbro to which is attached Theraband but I think it's at a mates in Yorkshire at the mo'.



And if I amputated it and cooked it up with Yorkshire pudds and roast parsnips it would taste even better.:D



That's one way of ensuring miracles happen. :)



Aye the stag on my HHB looks just like that. It is indeed a very ergonomic knife due to the cut of the stag. Great collection you have there. :):thumbsup:



There's nothing meagre about that collection. That's as finer assortment of stag as anyone's seen. :):thumbsup:

I visited two of our cathedrals over the weekend. The second was Hereford cathedral.
From across the River Wye.

Founded in 696 the church is a mix of Norman and Perpendicular.

My HHB on the Norman font. The worn carvings are of the 12 Apostles.

And I'll show you this as it's unusual. This is the Holy Shrine of St' Thomas Cantilupe, Bishop of Hereford 1275 to 1282. It's unusual as virtually no medieval shrines exist in England as they were all destroyed. First during the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1536 and then during our Civil Wars (1642-1651).
The stone base is the genuine medieval, the colourful top dates from the 1990's.

“A Walk in Nature” # 60 ***
Good morning Guardians !
I'll "formally" :) conclude my walk in nature series with today's pics.
It has been a lot of fun to share with my fellow guardians a little portion of the world around me, not to mention a great motivation to exercise and get out more and pay attention to the little gifts that nature has for us.
I have "bonded" with my ebony lambsfoot and will continue to carry it in my walks.
As inspiration strikes I will snap more pics and share here but to make it easier I won't number the posts from now on.

"Long live the Lambsfoot"
