That can't be good, can it?
I remember a 60 Minutes story about somewhere in England that had a breeding population of wild hamsters running amok.
Some people eat guinea pigs, I guess.

 I have no idea why they are there, but I didn't notice them on the menu!

At least they're cuter than rats.
Lovely picture, Jack.
The grass is so green and reminds me of Spring.
I've never had a sausage roll, but I could pretty much guarantee I'd like it.
Now you're channeling the powers of Harvey.
Great photo, your stag is taking on some real nice character.
 
  Thank you John, that's my front garden. It's very green here - because it hardly stops raining!

Thanks! So far, so fascinating. It’s impressively hefty: 130 pages, but weighs in at over a pound (498 grams, to be precise) from the nice heavy paper they use. You’d love the full-bleed photography spreads.
That certainly looks like an acceptable stand-in. Enjoy!
 
 

It’s all going smooth here this morning Guardians!Y’all stay safe out there!

 
 
Thanks very much, Jack! It's great to be here.
I'm hoping your're right! They better be a hardy plant if they're counting on me as their caretaker!Hopefully, your new sign will help keep the idiots at bay.
...
Hoping for blue skies and lots of sunshine today. Enjoy your Sunday, folks!

 
 
I’m not a doctor, and I didn’t intend to give medical advice, but when I got into sourdough, and ate a lot of sourdough bread, I lost weight. I think it depends what you put on your bread too....
The Perfect Loaf is a good site. Also there’s a forum like this one, The Fresh Loaf, with people at all levels of experience.
 
 

 
	
Good morning Guardians. Lambsfoot content!

 
 
 
 
Have to keep the tradition alive.Great to see you flying the Sunday Sausage Sandwich flag John!


 
  
  I remember the first time my kids made me breakfast. I opened my eyes to see a cup of tea being held precariously above my head

I went straight to The Three Stags heads after, and had a pint of Black Lurcher!I don't get there that often, but it's one of my favourite old pubs
Even, if their car-park is strangely overrun by semi-wild guinea-pigs



 
  I'm afraid I haven't David, they were stolen about 25 years ago, along with a huge amount of other stuffThey were just the Pip, Squeak, Wilfred, but also the large medal/plaque commemorating his death


I dare say mateI like those old euphemisms, which often sound so innocent. In the olden days in Sheffield, folks would refer to being 'under the clock' as a euphemism for being locked up (usually for debt or drunkenness) in the cells beneath the Town Hall. Since Leeds magistate's court was still in Leeds Town Hall until relatively recent times, it's a phrase I sometimes still hear here

That's because you're a youngster David!



 
	If I end up putting the lathe on the floor and sitting cross-legged in front of it, PPE will be a stout throw pillow.


Ever since I can remember my Dad has been obsessed with bread making, especially sourdough.It is a deep rabbit hole! I’ve been down it

Very nice John !!!
 
 
 
	Ed, That sounds like not a lot of fun. I have a feeling you're tough enough to handle it, though.Not the best time to be requiring return trips to the doctor/hospital, either. Glad you have what sounds like an angel helping you through it.

That's the place! A cracking pub! If you were there so long back you need to know that the place is being run by a new couple on behalf of the owner. The bloke is a knife maker/restorer. He showed me a few of his knives which he generally makes out of old tools and he had a look at my HHB which he seemed quite impressed with.
Unfortunately my laptop has just randomly reformatted the microSD card the pictures of these knives where on so I can't post them.
Anyway he exhibits at the annual Wardlow Mires Food and Pottery Festival held every September.
Sorry Jack; I now recall you have mentioned that before.
LOL! I like that.
Awww....thanks. You can come again.
A nice sunny pic which looks warmer than it is.
Was trying to sort out this axe haft but it's got colder and colder and colder so I packed it in.

 I hadn't been there for a long time before that, and it had changed a little, and was certainly busier than on my previous visit, when it was completely empty
