I wish I'd thought of installing secret cameras before Charlie! Someone needs to keep an eye on them ;)

Seems like a long time ago now my friend ;) :thumbsup:

Thanks for showing us that one again Donn :thumbsup: Hopefully Greg's index will assist you in finding the other two-blade posts :) How is the pull on that one my friend? I was talking to @ADEE yesterday, and we was relating how a friend had recently bought one, but couldn't even get the pen blade open! :eek:

Apologies Jack, had a trawl out to Harrogate yesterday to my opticians.
You know what, the pull is perfect :thumbsup: A little harder on the pen blade but I won't need block and tackle to open it. :thumbsup::thumbsup:
I bought it from Woodalls in Malton.

Yesterday, I headed over to the nearby town of Huddersfield, for a May Day meeting with @ADEE. I usually also meet up with @scruffuk, but he's currently holidaying in Derbyshire.

Our visit to the weekly second-hand market turned up absolutely nothing of interest, so after a cuppa, we headed out of town, and had a walk up the canal. We soon spotted a heron.

We were both carrying AW Lambsfoot knives with ebony covers, so they posed for pics :) The mark side of ADEE's knife has an attractive black/brown mottled appearance. He likes to maintain a polished blade.

I had wanted to visit an antiques centre in the nearby town of Slaithwaite (pronounced 'Slowit'), where we also struck out, but the weather was good, and we had a great lunch at a co-operative bakery. ADEE had beans on toast, which looked incredible :)

I went for the chickpea stew, which came with a pile of toasted sourdough :)

We had coffee out by the canal, and shared a piece of fruit-cake.

We usually go for a pint or two, but I had to catch my train back to Leeds.

I did, however, meet up with some friends for a good few pints upon my return though ;) Hope everyone else had a good May Day :) :thumbsup:

I hope you didn't get stung too much Donn, I went to Boots last week, and I felt like I had been mugged! :eek: That's good to hear :) I was talking about Woodalls to @ADEE just the other day, he said he had also called in. Is Ivan still there? ;) :D It was, you'd have enjoyed it I think. We ate at 'The Handmade Bakery', it only does veggie stuff, but the food was really nice, good value, and the bread is excellent :thumbsup:

Carrying this ebony again today :thumbsup:

Sorry to hear about Boots. :rolleyes: Unfortunately I've got funny eyes so go to a specialist private optician in Harrogate. I don't mind spending the money as I'm absolutely confident I'll get the best service from them :thumbsup:
And I've heard of the Handmade Bakery but can't think why. Maybe on Sheffieldforum?? I'll have to hunt it down over the summer.

Is Ivan the tall chap in his 50's with hands like tractor buckets and who some think has
a really brusque manner? If so, yip he's still there. I like the chap, he's a real character and a font of knowledge on all sorts of farming and fur 'n feather stuff :thumbsup:
He has a range of really nice pocket knives in there. Both A.Wright but some stamped "Woodalls". I completely forgot to ask who makes them for him. I'm assuming A.Wright but maybe not?

Just watching Tour de Yorkshire today so thought I'd do a comparison shot.

That sounds like a wise choice :) The Handmade Bakery is right next to the canal, just on the Marsden side of Slaithwaite, near the Empire Brewery :thumbsup:

Great pics :) I think it was a poster from Pickering who dubbed him Ivan, he has Russian heritage, but I'm not sure he's really called Ivan! :D That's interesting about the Woodall's knives :thumbsup:
 
Just noticed that I made a double post yesterday :confused: So, I thought I'd use this space to say Good Morning Guardians! ;) The weekend is nearly here, and we have 3-days of it here in England :) Hope everyone has a good Friday, and an even better weekend :thumbsup:

Thanks! I think Andrew did a great job, but I'm sure I'll appreciate it even better when it arrives back from him. I'm hoping that I qualify for guardianship as well, but I'll leave that up to the group, of course.

Owning a Lambsfoot and posting pics here qualifies you Joshua :thumbsup:
