Morning Mark, that's a beautiful photo Hopefully, there won't be too many black pudding-related injuries

I am going to head out soon to feast on a chip butty in Leeds market

Received a special package in the mail today! Thank you, Jack Black . This was wonderful to come home to

Poor thing was sitting in the mailbox freezing all day... Had to go right in the pocket to warm up.

Very nice looking Lamb. Congrats.

I'm still carrying my Hartshead, but can't wait for the week to be over.
I find myself not using it because I don't want to ruin the etch on it.
I think it's a special knife and I want to preserve it for the ages.
I will take it out of the rotation after this week and continue to baby it.

While considerably smaller than Yorkshire, the neighbouring English county of Lancashire, stretches all the way from its Eastern border with Yorkshire all the way to the Irish Sea (they've actually lost a few bits since this map, a facsimile copy of which I was gifted by @donn, was drawn).

Consequently, like the West Coast of Ireland, it gets a lot of rain, and Lancaster is the wettest city in England (though there's some very wet places in Yorkshire this year too ). Bearing that in mind, one might think that some bright spark might have picked a day in July for Lancashire Day, rather than the end of November. That, however, would be to deny the phlegmatic 'true grit' spirit of the Northern counties, why go for the chance of a sunny day, when you are practically guaranteed rain, wind, cold, or worse, and you can just roll up your shirt sleeves and insist that it is fine, and only 'Southern Jessies' would think otherwise.

It's bouncing with rain in Leeds today, but since it's been like that throughout the Autumn, more or less, that can't really be blamed on Lancashire (I suppose ). Despite rather fancying a bowl of soup, I felt duty-bound to head down to Leeds market for a chip butty I did enjoy it though

I rather fancied a cup of tea afterwards, and after picking up some Eccles cakes, I thought I might head home for one. However, I was unable to find any Lancashire-brewed ale in either of the supermarkets I visited, so I thought I'd better go and get a pint instead. I could only think of one bar that regularly sells beers from across the hill, and there I managed to get a pint of the unpretentiously-named 'Pint', brewed by Manchester's Marbles brewery, whose beers I am rather fond of.

Now back at home with my haul of Eccles cakes, I'm just tucking into one, and having a brew (a cup of tea) Happy Lancashire Day @donn

Sounds like a fun day and it's good to see you're eating well.

I understand, John. Being very careful with mine. Special knife.

I'm with you on that, John. I keep mine on my computer desk and frequently work the action. It has, by far, the best walk and talk (for my preferences) of all my Wright knives. It's the only one that I can reliably pinch open too. The one always in my pocket is my '19 ironwood Jack SFO. I call him Harley.

I'm glad you think so much of your Hartshead Barlows gents, but they are tough knives. If you look at the etch under a magnifying glass, you'll see that it runs deep, so even if you build up patina on the blade, you won't lose it

Nice pic of Harley natchezz

Thanks John, I was going to have a pie, but after one of those fine Eccles cakes, on top of my lunchtime chip butty, I'm feeling pretty stuffed!

Thanks for your understanding, guys.
Stag isn't my favorite to carry anyways, it's usually just thicker than it needs to be. It does fill a needed role of "pretty knife to look at" though.

@donn- A happy Lancashire Day to you David. Looking forward to your post.

Jack Black - The Eccles Cakes and Chip Butty Images are mouth watering, Jack. Sorry to hear of @zolthar passing. Hope the rain lets up in your neck of the wood. At this point in time, I tend to avoid crowds like the plague.

Good Morning Guardians. Wishing you all a safe and happy Holiday.

Happiness is...

Good morning Guardians.

I thought it only appropriate to bring out the old, pocket-worn, stag, Harrison Bros & Howson Lambfoot for Thanksgiving Eve Day and Thanksgiving Day.

Terrible!

Thanks Harvey, your great pics never fail to make my mouth water

Yes, very sad about Zolthar, he was always a nice guy to deal with

Thank you my friend, but I think the rain is set to continue for the next few days I blame it on Lancashire!

Thanks Ed, that's a great knife to carry for the holidays So what are you all up to for Thanksgiving Eve? I hope all our Guardians and their families have a very happy time

Since we got 8" of snow yesterday and it's still coming down, we're just going to hang out at the house today and tonight. Tomorrow, Thanksgiving, we're going to some friends for Thanksgiving Dinner so I'll break out my old, faithful, 4X4, truck and away we'll go through the snow. We ought to have a foot or more of snow by then.

So The War of the Roses is still alive and well.
Here is the last rose of summer in my yard in Oregon.

Jack Black - Thank you Jack. Hang in there.
