Thanks Jack. My father-n-law was semi-retired right up to his passing a few years ago at the age of 85. He owned his own independent insurance agency that his father started before him. He just couldn’t give it up, but he was the happiest and kindest man I’ve ever known.
I really like that black and white picture, that door just draws you in.
I've been a writer for the past 30 years, and while I don't do a fraction of the work I once did, I doubt I'll ever completely give it up. When I was a kid, I remember asking my dad about retirement age, and he told me that by the time I grew up, folks would be retiring at 50. It may have looked that way in the 60's, but things have gone the other way here! 
My dad was lucky to retire at 60 though. Nice memories of your father-in-law my friend Thank you, few more black and white pics for you, it must be 35 years or more since I last took black and white photographs 
Fabulous B&W images from your Harewood Castle hike, Jack.
Good Afternoon Guardians
It's great to see one of the 20 Hartshead Barlows in Rosewood, nice pic 
Thanks (to you Jack.) Never gonna give it up.Thank you Harvey, that's very kind of you my friend
Our realtor made it easy on us...
Sound like a good reason to get together for a bit of fishin'.
Wow, your Lamb is looking great with some age, Todd.
Thank you, Jack.
Beautiful picture of your beautiful HHB.
Spectacular photos, Jack.
Beautiful crisp picture, Harvey.
You have received good advise in my opinion. If you are happy with your location, would be a folly to move.
This is getting beyond a joke, i sat here and it took 5 minutes for Jacks black and white photos to load. And trying multiple quotes, don't even think about it.
If you've been hanging around here for a while, you'll have seen some of my photos from Harewood Castle before, and if you search, within the thread, you'll find plenty of previous photos. Hope I won't be considered all 'arty-farty' for posting some black and white pics from my visit today, there are colour pics in the Nature thread here
Thanks, John.
Sounds like a good decision.
Sounds great, I’m in!
Thanks John, they seem to only get better.
They do age well, especially the wood covers, and another huge bonus, as the old farmers told me as a kid, " Easy Maintenance ".Thanks John, they seem to only get better.

Sounds like a good idea John, I'm glad you were able to come to a decision
Thank you very much buddy
The problems with the site seem to be going on and on
That's ridiculous, they're not even high resolution
I am having multiple issues myself though, it makes posting a real chore I'm also getting ghost posts hanging on in the comment box after I've posted. My brain doesn't need any more confusion
That's looking good TaylorHappy Saturday Guardians carrying my HHB.
Definitely!Thanks John, they seem to only get better.
Sounds impressive Taylor, I haven't had a good 'Taylor Beer' in a while, I need to go and do some shoppingI know sour beers aren’t for everyone. But wow this is a good one!
For some odd reason I really enjoy the tartness or these beers. I’m especially liking farm house ales and brews that let natural yeast take hold. But I still enjoy my cheap Busch Light of course! Cheers Guardians!!
Also, my HHB has been stealing a ton of pocket time lately.
It's always great to see your Hartshead Barlow They do age well, especially the wood covers, and another huge bonus, as the old farmers told me as a kid, " Easy Maintenance ".
