Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[Jack Black]

Always.

Eeeek
Careful not to fall under her spell, Jack.

She's behaved herself recently John, but I'm not taking any chances!

Good Morning Guardians
The weather is supposed to be spectacular today
I'll be heading out later to do a little fishing, and hopefully some catching.

Have a great time my friend

Good luck today! I usually catch at least 2 or 3. Cans of beer I mean

Thank you, Jack.

Thank you.

Hopefully the fish will cooperate.

Picked up a cheese & onion pasty in town - got to keep Lucy away from meat! I had it with a a couple of slices of buttered malthouse sourdough, pickled onions, an apple, and a mug of tea

My girlfriend had asked me what I wanted to do for my birthday yesterday, and as I haven't been to the coast for a few years, I said that's what I'd like to do Rail fares have gone crazy here, I doubt there's a country in the world which has more expensive public transport than here, and so to save a few quid, I booked the tickets 2 weeks in advance, and bought an Over 60's Railcard, which gave me a 30% discount. Still came to £50 for a 140 mile round trip! When I booked the tickets, we were in the midst of spring, but then winter returned with a vengeance yesterday!

Our destination was Scarborough, a thoroughly unpretentious, old-fashioned, Yorkshire seaside town, for my birthday beano yesterday. I don't know if they knew I was coming, but it was closed!

...

I really enjoyed your photos and text related to your birthday outing to Scarborough, Jack.
I wonder if some of the businesses there looked at the weather forecast for a Wednesday in March and decided it was worth opening for the day, since nobody would be "loony" enough to come to the seaside on such a day?
I'm glad your back held up for your trip; it must be OK if you could handle some of the stairs you showed in your pics!
Is this the Scarborough whose "fair" is celebrated in old English ballads?

That looks delicious... Too bad Lucy doesn't share.

Finally got my passport! Lucy is trying to get me to take a vacation

Finally. So it’s Transylvania that your heading to. Lucy is gorgeous as ever,

Looking good, John. Looks like you’re certain to catch a good time.

Delightful

That looks delicious GT! Oh and Merry Christmas!

Spent of the afternoon waiting about for my mum to come out of her cataract surgery.

A trio of MG's.

...

Thanks for the positive comment on my culinary effort, and for the Christmas greeting undoubtedly inspired by our snowperson plates.
My wife has rules about when the winter plates and dish towels get put away for the season, but those rules are not ones that I comprehend! We're still getting snow flurries at least 2 or 3 days per week, but the forecast calls for less than 2" of snow accumulation as a front rolls through tomorrow morning; I expect the winter plates will have disappeared by May Day. I'm allowed to use this coffee mug year round though:

This one was designated as my personal mug many years ago when I was much more OCD about snow removal from our sidewalks than I am now in my golden years. I used to shovel the snow from the walks, then use a broom to sweep them completely clear of any residue. Now, I usually use a shovel (for deeper snow) OR broom (for dry, light snow) but not both.

I hope all went well with your mother's cataract surgery. I spent several mornings over the past couple of months driving my wife to and from her cataract surgeries (one eye in January and one in March) and post-operative check-ups until she was cleared to drive herself.

Nice photos of the MGs. Looking very spring-like there! Is that yellow "hedge" in the background a forsythia bush in bloom already?

Man Jack has been my lambsfoot of the week since last Monday:

Looking good, John.

Thank you, Harvey.

Looks like you’re certain to catch a good time.

If that's all I catch, it'll be well worth it.

Cool picture, Harvey.
I have one of those knives, but my pins are nicely finished like yours.

Very cool picture, GT.

First taste of apple for this lamb

Thank you very much Gary, that's very kind of you With the wet weather, I left my new camera in my bag, and just used my old one

I wonder if some of the businesses there looked at the weather forecast for a Wednesday in March and decided it was worth opening for the day, since nobody would be "loony" enough to come to the seaside on such a day?

Perhaps! I don't think they'll last long in a British seaside resort with that attitude though

I'm glad your back held up for your trip; it must be OK if you could handle some of the stairs you showed in your pics!

Thanks again my friend, my knees were unusually sore the next day, even though I didn't tackle the worst of those precipitous staircases

Is this the Scarborough whose "fair" is celebrated in old English ballads?

It is indeed

That looks delicious... Too bad Lucy doesn't share.

Thanks mate

Finally. So it’s Transylvania that your heading to. Lucy is gorgeous as ever,

I'm a bit concerned about the prospect of going to stay at her ex-boyfriend's castle Harvey! It looks far more forbidding than the one in Scarborough, and I don't want there to be any bad blood between us - or any blood at all!

Delightful

Thanks buddy, that's a great pic

Fascinating to read about your crockery rotation Gary I do like your mug, and that's a nice pic Good one of your Man Jack too

Cool pic, that's some nice ebony there

In Transylvania, the only bad blood is no blood. With the light on in the window, it looks quite homey!

May I suggest a turtle neck.

Thanks buddy, that's a great pic

Thanks Jack.

Added a groove to the bolster, didn't come out exactly like what I had in mind but I think it looks ok.

I reckon that light is is there to lure in the unwary!

I was thinking...



With a strong padlock!
