Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[Jack Black]

I just went into the kitchen, to see how my blackberry crumble was getting on, after 35 minutes in the oven, and I'd forgotten to put the crumble IN the oven!

Good for you Todd You just reminded me that I found a good spot for sweet chestnuts here last year, so I must keep an eye on it

Hope you find some good ones. So far, it doesn’t seems like we have as many as usual, but I managed to grab a few.

That looks like an unusual Canadian delicacy! Handsome Lamb

Thanks Jack. They come a’running for them!

Gorgeous, Jack.

I put on my blackest clothes, and went to pick some blackberries Tons of fruit, but I was only able to pick enough for a crumble, as my back is still a bit sore, and I didn't want to make it worse. I've told my neighbours to help themselves

There used to be a small patch across the road from my place years ago until my neighbor sprayed them. He said they were unsightly.

Good Morning Guardians

That sounds fun John. Have a great time! The Jeep and lamb look fantastic.

Slow morning…just right. View attachment 1905305

I agree Pete. I slept in until 9:00! I haven’t slept that late in I don’t know how long. I don’t know if I should be happy or worried something is wrong with me! Nice photo of your custom lamb.

Good morning Guardians. Pile side shot today.

ah this was back in 2017, and I was just getting into the lambsfoots. Was ordering from a site that i swear had to have been made in the early 2000s. I remember you saying the nonsway handle is not as common. you referred to it as the candlestick handle i believe. Usually the lambfoots tend to have the sway handle like in the guardians which I have stored away in a display box along with the leather slip we had made. I believe it was a few extra bucks for the snakewood, but some times you gotta treat yourself

Ah, I know the site you mean! Did he claim it was handmade by Napoleon or something?!

Yeah, the Snakewood was pricey! That's a Candle-end my friend I picked up a second at the factory, but I've only carried it once or twice

yes this was the place with the teak wood from the ships! youd think hed some how managed to get the wood used for queen victoria's cupboards. Now that is a beaut! I had considered making a second purchase but navigating that site was a nightmare.

Well, at least it's not overdone...

Thanks Todd, I think it'll be a few weeks here yet, I'll have to keep an eye out, they don't last long

Thanks Jack. They come a’running for them!

I bet they do!

Gorgeous, Jack.

Thanks buddy

There used to be a small patch across the road from my place years ago until my neighbor sprayed them. He said they were unsightly.

We have those same idiots here too I'm afraid Todd My elderly neighbour has a couple of very productive apple trees, but being a bit crazy, he doesn't eat them. Several of the low branches came right into my garden, and he was always happy for me to take as many as I wanted (they drop all over my garden anyway). Then, about 18 months ago, some guy from 3 doors down, went into the garden, and completely butchered the apple trees, while they were in fruit. I don't know what he as thinking of! I went round and had some very stern words with him, but the apple trees won't be the same again, not in my lifetime anyway

I agree Pete. I slept in until 9:00! I haven’t slept that late in I don’t know how long. I don’t know if I should be happy or worried something is wrong with me! Nice photo of your custom lamb.

LOL! Good for you Todd, I'm sure it doesn't hurt now and again I'm a customary early-riser, but I don't know why!

I hope everyone is doing OK, and that you have something enjoyable planned, even if it's just putting your feet up No plans here, and I think I'm going to have a hot bath, and have a think about what I might do It won't be much, I might just toddle round the back of the house, and pick a few of my remaining blackberries Thought I'd carry my SamDamLamb! Have a great Saturday Guardians

Hope everything goes easy for you today, Jack. Fine Lambfoot/compass image. Cheers.

Yeah, the man's an idiot! I only had one encounter with him, but John M used to tell me some hilarious stories!

Well, at least it's not overdone...

There is that! I better keep an eye on the time!

Thank you Harvey, it's an old one I'm afraid That's a very clever image my friend, you have a great artist's eye and imagination

That’s a real shame Jack.

Very creative photo Harvey.

 

[Jack Black]

That’s a real shame Jack.

It's criminal isn't it Todd, lots of people used to enjoy those apples, and the trees looked lovely in blossom too? I don't know what is wrong with people, that guy is a university lecturer! At the end of my street (an 'Avenue' in a conservation area, where every tree is supposedly protected), there is a house that used to have 5 mature cherry trees in the garden, with trunks a couple of feet across. They looked incredible in bloom. Then the house changed hands, and the new tenant, cut all 5 of them down

Few more

Thanks for the trip down memory lane, Jack!

Here are a few from my own archives.

I haven't eaten much today, but haven't been hungry. That's not a bad thing, as missing a meal now and again, certainly isn't going to do me any harm! As my crumble was finally in the oven, I decided to just have a snack. In the 1970's, there was a short-lived craze for electric "sandwich toasters". Lots of old-fashioned cafes still have them, a lot of attics, and an awful lot of student bedsits.

They still sell them, and I imagine most folks use them a few times, and then put them on top of a cupboard, or up in an attic. Nostalgia caused me to buy one about 15 years ago, I think I've used it twice, and it's still in the original box. I had an idea to make a couple of cheese and pastrami 'toasties'. As soon as I started doing this, I was reminded of the last time I'd used the thing, and regretted it. They only really work with cheap, sliced, white bread, which I would only buy if I was going to a 70's night, with my toaster in hand. I usually have nice sourdough bread, which wouldn't work at all, but during my bad back bread famine, a friend had brought me a sliced, seeded wholemeal loaf. To work properly though, you have to cut the sandwiches into small fairy-sized ones. The lid wouldn't close, except with brute force, and the brown bread didn't brown properly. Have to say, it tasted OK, but looked pretty rubbish

I thought I'd try doing the other sandwich Elvis-style! In the pan, which I have never done before. That looked better, but it doesn't seal in the contents. It didn't taste much different That sandwich toaster is going to outlast me!

The blackberry crumble is cooling on the side

They’re wonderful dust collectors.

They’re wonderful dust collectors.

Aren't they just?! I have put mine away in a drawer, where at least it doesn't gather dust, unlike some of the other kitchen gadgets I've bought over the years!
