Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

Forgive me Jack. I thought today was the anniversary of 1066 Battle of Hasting. Not something one celebrates or ackowledges?
Sorry Harvey, I missed that! :D Certainly not something I celebrate, William The Bastard was, shortly afterwards, responsible for a reign of terror in Yorkshire, which some historians have explicitly called genocide! :eek: He turned up in the Sheffield on Christmas Eve, slaughtered everything in sight, burned the crops, sowed the ground with salt, demolished the few buildings, and made survivors carry the stones away, with the threat that they would be put to the sword if anything was re-built :(
Happy you did, that you feel a bit better, and that you’re having a good day,
Thank you my friends, I'm going to try and get out each day, as apart from anything else, all the lazing around with sciatica/covid has had an impact on my fitness :thumbsup:
Good Morning Guardians💂‍♀️
Cool pic - I'm glad to see the needle is where it is! :eek: :D ;) That's a beautiful knife, can you remind me of the maker please? Just gorgeous :cool: :thumbsup:
 
I love Thai foods but there is not a great option for Thai near the new house that I’ve found yet. Heading out for some appointments…

Great looking Lamb Pete. We have a small Thai restaurant here but either it isn’t that good or I don’t really like Thai food that much! 🤣
Not very hungry after my Thai lunch, so I thought I'd just have a sausage sammich for tea ;) :thumbsup:

Nice lamb Jack, even though it isn’t the snakewood. 🤣
The sausage sammich looks better to me than the Thai. 😎👍

Hard to pick a favorite from your fabulous collection, Deight.

Good Morning Guardians💂‍♀️
Sweet photo Harvey, like Jack said, glad the needle is on zero. 😉👍
 
Good morning Guardians! This one doesn’t get much pocket time but in honor of Black Friday she’s into one today! In the meantime have a great weekend all!

That 88 sure looks nice, Dan.

Thank you Jack.

I can see you’re not a fan.🤬 I’ve been reading English History in my old age. I was aware of the “Harrying of the North.” Dreadful stuff.

The Lambfoot is from Wraggs.

Thank you Todd.

Good morning Guardians. Guess it’s my lucky day. 😉👍View attachment 1957806
Looking Good, Todd.
 
Reminds me of when my wife and I were in Annie's Arms in Sutton , Yorkshire in 1986 and the restaurant had only meat pies to eat . 5 different ones and they all were good . I know I had a knife in my pocket but it was not a Lambfoot . That Pie sure looks good Barrett !!!!!

Harry

Harry, you gave me a brief moment of panic there! I also had a knife in my pocket when I visited the Raven, of course, but it wasn’t a Lambsfoot, and I thought for a second I might incur the wrath of Jack Black Jack Black for posting a non-Lambsfoot knife in the Guardians thread! Thankfully that one was a no-knife photo. 😁 The pie was very good!

(I won’t say how old I was in 1986…) 😉

That skinny beardie sure can eat! :eek: :D Do you know, I always thought the restaurant was called 'Pieminster'! :D The Raven sounds like a cracking pub Barrett, hope I can get down there one day :) I'm not sure I've ever seen those pies in the pubs up here, but I think they're delicious. I did manage to find one in a supermarket, cost me a fiver, but it was worth it 😋 :thumbsup:

He can indeed. It is a curious name either way, isn’t it? While I’m far from a pub expert, if you ever happen to be in Bath, I don’t think The Raven will disappoint. :thumbsup:

Glad to hear you were able to walk a bit farther and had nice weather as well ! I woke up to the first snow of the season o_O

Thank you very much Steve :) Snow?! o_O Yikes, don't mention it to CelloDan ! :eek: ;)

Although we’ve lived in Minnesota since my eldest was a year old, and my youngest was born here, neither seem to have a great grasp on dressing for the weather. Eleanor (6) insisted on wearing her winter coat, neck warmer and hat, while Scout (2) opted for a t-shirt, light jacket and sandals with socks. 🙄🤣

We did finally turn the furnace on last night. 🙂

My goodness that looks good!

Thanks, Dwight. The pie and mash were great, and they didn’t skimp on the gravy, either!

We haven't been seeing as much of those #88s as I had expected, given the initial enthusiasm for them :thumbsup:

I bought one out of curiosity, but found it a bit odd in hand and (just my personal opinion) a bit goofy looking, so I passed it along.

That seems to be quite common here 😄



The snow has all melted for now and we needed the moisture 👍

Good for you Harvey, I love history :) Being aware of those events makes you more knowledgeable than about 95% of my fellow countrymen :rolleyes: Thank you for the info on the Lambsfoot, a quality maker :) The book looks interesting :thumbsup:

I was planning to go down in 2020 Barrett - didn't work out so well I'm afraid! :rolleyes: I was going to visit friends in both Bath and Bristol, but my friends in Bath split up after 20 years together :( Mike used to teach string theory at the university, but Isy has been a friend for about 30 years. I saw her at the 50th birthday party I went to in the spring, but she no longer lives in Bath. Despite this, I do hope I can visit Bath, and The Raven, at some point :thumbsup:

I suspected that might happen :thumbsup:
Have a great weekend guardians of the lambsView attachment 1957910
You too Dwight, and Happy Double Lambsfoot Day! ;) :) :thumbsup:
I went to a taco joint I’ve been visiting since around 2003 for breakfast this morning.

That looks delicious Pete :) Not too many taco joints here I'm afraid :( I ordered breakfast burritos in a place on Monday, but they were off the menu for some reason :rolleyes:
I don't celebrate the lucky B's Norman imposition either.
Turning all that public wilderness into royal hunting preserves and killing anybody who so much as looked cross-eyed at a royal squirrel. (possible exaggeration)

I'm not sure it's an exaggeration Jer :rolleyes: :eek: It sounded grim for those living in the vast royal hunting forest near here, which was a favourite of King John. Peasants were forbidden from hunting so much as a dormouse, forbidden from growing crops, forbidden from cutting down trees, and forbidden from moving elsewhere. So many were starving in the end, they let them plant a few carrots or something :rolleyes:
 
I just got a text from ebay telling me "It's time to get your home festive-ready!" What are they on about, it's only half past eight?! :rolleyes:
