Thank you Bob, there is still an abundance of the original old cobbled streets in Leeds
This small lane is just behind my house 
Great pic Bob? Is that Edam?
Outstanding pair Kurt
We are seeing some very classy Lambsfoot knives here these days! 
A man of good taste...yes it is Jack. What a beautiful, rustic area you live in.Thank you Bob, there is still an abundance of the original old cobbled streets in Leeds

Edam was one of the cheeses I grew up with, and yet I can't remember the last time I had it. Nice to be reminded I consider myself lucky, I am less than 2 miles from the city centre of one of England's largest cities, but live on a broad tree-lined avenue, and get hedgehogs and foxes in my garden, and even deer, within a quarter of a mile. It's peaceful and quiet, and you don't hear much apart from birdsong, and children playing out, and I don't have to go too far for a walk Have a good one Guardians 
Looks like a great day Jack. I’m still enjoying some time off, fortunately. I did go through more than two hundred emails this morning however. That will make for a more pleasant return to work next week.Dull, humid, and raining on and off here today, but I've had a nice enough day anyway
Then caught a bus into town.
Despite it's name, and historic frontage, we'll not call The Three Legs 'Charlie's Pub', because it's a real dump!I don't know what time they open (or 'unlock'), but it was already busy at 11.00am. Usually, there is a bunch of drunks smoking outside, but the rain had temporarily kept them inside! The Three Legs is situated on one of Leeds' oldest streets, but very much like other pubs of its type, it has gambling establishments on either side, and there's a payday loans and pawn-brokers next to one of those. By lunchtime, there'll be middle-aged drunks staggering around outside, and fighting with each other
Further up the hill is another old pub, The Horse & Trumpet, with a reputation, which is only a little better
I imagine these shoes, sitting atop a bin, could tell a tale!They don't look to have been worn though
I took a few more photos, while I did some shopping
Leeds Library's Word of the Day
I was going to get a slice of pizza from this newly-opened place, but I realised it was a franchise, and the staff seemed clueless, and the pizza didn't actually look that good
I remember when ice cream vans all carried traditional Italian surnames. In Sheffield, there was Manfredi's, Sanella's, Cuneo's. There was some rivalry between them, but not like in Glasgow, where there were 'ice cream wars', which weren't anywhere near as much fun as they sound!
No comment!
In an independent maker's shop in the Grand Arcade above, I found this wee cake fork that I thought might make a nice gift for some cake lover
I called in the small, dedicated hot sauce shop, looking for a few replacement items. I was unlucky with most of them, but I did get some replacement Marie Sharp's
Having whet my appetite, and lucked out on the pizza, I thought I'd go for ThaiUnfortunately, the waitress misheard me, and I got a small bottle of Chang, instead of a large one
I called in at Charlie's again, for another coffee, on the way homeHope everyone else is having a good day
Thanks Bob.
Your Albers is looking great, and I’ll make no jokes about cutting the cheese!
Looks like you got a winner Pete. Enjoy the rest of your time off.

Nice to see the Pile side, my friend, which looks to have just looks to have just as much character as the Mark
Thank you buddy
I'm glad that one cleansed your vicarious memory of my foul brew Pete!
I was fast asleep!
Thank you very much Duncan, hope you're keeping well brother
Good morning Guardians, I hope everyone's week got off to a good start
- loving seeing our other friends Hartsheads out!
With This and Rufus 949's new Lambsfoot- it will be real interesting to see how the Copper Bolsters and Caps age! Nice looking Knives!
Love this! Man what a beauty!
I have been struggling a bit lately and having a climb up - and reading this has really whacked me for a six, Harvey was a great guy, although I dint know him, I thought his posts were simply excellent - I love the shots he took as well.Guardians, Barrett @btb01 has thoughtfully posted some news about our absent friend Harvey @cigarrodog in the Lounge. I'm afraid it's sad news
