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
