Actually that pamphlet is five years old. Things are probably even jollier now.
Cool pic Jer 
Thanks a lot Bill, bit of a cock-up on the Lambsfoot carry front today!

The cygnets I saw the last time I was there are getting bigger now. I had only taken a compact camera out with me, and they were right across the lake, but I took a few pics...
I walked through the woods to my usual slingshot spot, and had half an hour there, before having a hastily-made perroni sandwich, and continuing on through the woods...

After having a brief look round the village, I bought a newspaper, and retired to the pub
Hope everyone is having a great day

Why the painted rocks? And I guess they don't use that door.

It was something kids did during the Lockdown, not just here, but internationally I think
No, they don't!

Paperweight? Not having young kids anymore, and not being on any form of social media, apart from BF, I kind of missed them, but I've seen other posters mention them

Still looks great, Pete.
You do the same, Jack.Good morning Guardians, it's fine here at the moment, with rain set to come in from mid afternoon, so I'm going to make a sandwich, grab my slingshot, and head out for a walk with my Hartshead Barlow. Hopefully get a few miles in before the rain, but I'm not too bothered about itHave a great day, and I'll see you all later Guardians
Always a treat to see an array of images capturing your weekend jaunt.I had to rush to get out of the house this morning, and forget to change my knife over!
Solid gold weekend, John.
No lack of goodies, sights, and Barlows. All is good.
Good Morning Guardians

With a great deal of difficulty, and a large amount of research and effort. It can be a very time-consuming, and expensive business. 'Company' was added in 1868, so that doesn't help us, but that's a very plain tang stamp for Christopher Johnson, I'm not sure if I have an example like that or not. To date it accurately, you would need access to Christopher Johnson catalogues, so that you could see when they first started producing that pattern. Several of their trade catalogues are held by Sheffield City Libraries, others are in the hands of collectors.
