Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

Jack Black said:
Good morning Guardians, I hope everyone is doing well. I was working until late last night, kind of lost track of time. Hoping to meet up with Matt today, as I've not seen him for a couple of weeks. Wolfie is over in France sorting out some family business. The weather is pretty miserable today, grey, and raining, so I hope it's not going to be like this for my trip away next week :rolleyes: Have a great weekend Guardians :thumbsup:

A couple years ago I bought three hand-painted Easter eggs from Ukraine. This year the same catalog is calling them hand painted Slavic style.

David, your pictures are always great. I am interested in your technique. I have a lot of trouble getting the lighting right for mine. Nothing I try seems to come out as good as yours always are.

Thank you buddy. I don't really have any technique. I just use my phone now days. I really don't work at it. Except I do try to find decent lighting. That's not always possible. I have found that good lighting is a important part of a good pic. There are some here who are much better. Maybe they chime in with some tips to help you. Hope you have a good weekend.

I'm still trying to give those spotted lambs a proper name in my mind. I like things that don't follow the norm. Nice one Jack.
Hope the weather let's you enjoy meeting up with Matt.

I know just what you mean Bob 👍 Thank you my friend, Matt split off early to take his kids to the movies. Not a bad choice, as the rest of us got soaked! 😱

Don't think so Jack, I'll try and get a pic in natural light tomorrow, raining this morning.
Although I have found snakewood does darken up over time.

Don't worry Mitch, I was just interested 🙂👍

Mmmm 😋 I might have to steer Wolfie and Matt in the direction of some pizza, when we go away 🙂👍

That happens to me all the time Jer! 😁

We are heading out of Leeds, through the Harewood Estate, onto Bolton Abbey, stopping at an incredibly old pub, the Craven Arms, at a place called Appletreewick. On, through a series of villages, to stop at a place called Grassington for lunch. A visit to the local falls, then on across the Yorkshire Dales to a market town called Hawes, where I shall aim to buy Matt and Wolfie flat-capd. Next, to another old pub, used in one of those films about little men with big feet, I'm not fond of. Driving on through the scenic Buttertubs Pass, to our destination for the night, England's highest pub, The Tan Hill Inn.

Interesting! 🙄 There used to be an Italian restaurant near me, where the owners supposedly traced their ancestry back to ancient Rome. Some years later, they opened a Polish restaurant, and we were led to believe the missus was actually Polish, and had learned to make pierogis at her grandmother's knee! 🤨 Both businesses failed! 😖

This itinerary sounds like a grand journey. I hope you’ll share photos. I would love to visit these old and high pubs one day! 🍻

Just one not carried much Steve.
Yes, good old government efficiency at its best. Just found out my new lamb is delayed even more. Will be 10 days since shipped across country!!

Jack Black Jack Black and Guardians, here are some other better photos. I love the size of this lamb and would like to know more about it. Any suggestions about the approximate age based on the Rodgers stamps? And the covers are warm and chunky — I assume synthetic to imitate jigged bone? 🐑

I think the synthetic material used was called Staglon. Note jigged bone is meant to imitate stag. An off the cuff guess would be early 70's, but please what I have written before about ageing Sheffield knives 👍

If I feel better tomorrow, I'll see if I have any catalogue images 👍

Sure will Dave 😊 👍

I got wet and cold earlier, then forgot to turn the heating up when I got in. Seems to have turned the mild cold I had ☹️
