Really?! That's great news! I wonder if there made by some British expat.
I'm looking forward to seeing that lovely JR executing pork pie duties.

That's a great pic of your Lambsfoot there my friend

A Rosewood big ‘un makes a great gardening companion David!

Thanks chaps.

Good morning Guardians. Another sunny morning but hot and muggy. When I went outside to take this photo the camera lens fogged up. Not surprising as all my windows are coated with condensate....like I said "muggy" is the word for outside today. Managed to clean it relatively well and take this shot of my HHB.

I'm glad I don't live in a humid place. Does it make your knives rust more?
Nice shot of your HHB there.

Good Morning Guardians
May good fortune shine on you all.

Bet you can't guess what I had for dinner.

That's a cryptic cookie if ever there was one.

I always think of 'Muggy' as a real old-fashioned Yorkshire word! Clearly not

Definitely a Lancashire word as well Jack.

Good Afternoon Guardians

Now I need a sausage butty.

I thought I post a few pics of my Wednesday walk in the Clywdian Hills following 'Offa's Dyke' path in north Wales, as I'm sure there are a few folk on here who are of Welsh descent.

The path is one of our long distance walks that for most of it's length roughly follows the path of 'Offa's Dyke', originally believed to of been built by Offa, King of the Anglo-Saxon Kingdom of Mercia in the 8th century to keep out the pesky Welsh.

This section is known for it's string of iron age hillforts.
The closest hill is Moel Arthur; you can make out where the defenses would of ringed the summit.
The hill middle distance behind is Penyclodiau Fort.

Foel Fenlli. If you look closely you can make out were the defensive rings would of been surrounding the top.

Moel Famau with the remains of the early 19th century Jubilee Tower.

My rosewood big'un was a bit bored on this trip as there were no pork pies, just a pack-up.

Good solid Welsh slate.

The Vale of Clwyd with Snowdonia National Park in the far distance. The mountain which you can just about make out middle distance will be Snowdon, the highest peak in England and Wales.

There ya go...

Great shot.

Those look great Taylor!

Good Morning Guardians! Friday is here again, and I hope everyone has had a good week I have a couple of deliveries coming today, and am hoping I can get out for a walk or something after that, maybe meet up with my pal and his kids. If I get time, I'm also going to make chilli. I decided to carry my 2017 Guardians Lambsfoot today, and it's in my pocket, together with the great pocket slip @Pàdruig made Have a great day folks

Great to see your 2017 and Dylan’s great slip Jack! Your mask looks to be very durable and well made Jack. That’s something for us all to consider, because regrettably it seems we may be using them for a long time!

Ebullient ebony my friend

Thank you Ron Yeah, they're pretty good I think, they do a good range too, I meant to put in a link

I’m totin’ some of Jacks best Ebony today! Hope y’all can stay safe and comfortable today!

Ace pic Ron, have a good day pal

It's turned into a bit of a scorcher here today. The Weather Gods waited until I was wearing black, and working out in the garden Both me and my Lambsfoot have had a pretty busy day. I'd originally gone out to the back garden to try out some tarp set-ups, but I noticed there was a fair bit of Japanese Knotweed on my blackberry bushes, so I've been ripping that off, and bagging it up. Had a few other tasks to perform too. I've just come in out of the sun for a bit. I bought these gloves off my pal with the tool-stall for a couple of pounds. I have much better work gloves, but they were ideal for dealing with the knotweed and brambles

[CelloDan]

Very interesting Dan, a huge number of Italians emigrated to Argentina in the later 19th century. How did your great grandfather fare Dan, I have read that many were very cruelly tricked and exploited.

My Dad told my that he was a very hardworking man, to the extreme. He came to Argentina very poor and worked as a bricklayer. He had little formal education but was able over the years to have his own small business and hire a couple people to help him build houses. My Dad tells me that with no plans or blueprints he was able to build very well built homes, he also had an amazing skill at ordering exactly the amount of materials needed for a project.
At one point he went back to Italy as the economy collapsed and returned again 2 or 3 years later.
During hard times he would go to the port in the town of Rosario and sweep the silos for the leftover wheat on the floor to take home.
I know he was exceptionally honest and would lay all night awake, consumed with anguish if he had a bill to pay or owed money and was even a little late for a payment.
In his later years he got very sick, some type of muscle wasting disease and required total care for several years. The family always believed it was caused by working so incredibly hard.

My Dad's maternal grandparents on the other hand became very wealthy. They had emigrated from Spain. On this side of the family, my great grandfather went onto build a chain of big stores in Rosario. My dad tells me he was a consummate business man and everything for him revolved around money. He would say " show me how much money you got and I tell you how much you are worth " ( what an awful thing to say )

It is always a shame to lose a language Maybe your daughters need some encouragement?

LOL The spanish inquisition
