Spoke too soon!
Welcome to the GuardiansMy 2. What is it about these? I don’t generally like a straight blade, but as you all have known long before me, there’s something about ‘em.
P.S. Go Gators![]()

Very nice ebony Steve.
On Saturday morning, we eventually got Wolfie off the phone, had a very poor breakfast at our hotel, got him a hat for less than £2, and set off to drive right across the country, to Whitby on the North Yorkshire coast. I had hoped to detour slightly to Richmond, but Matt was tiring of driving, and it was a long way anyway, so we drove straight to the coast.

We parked up, and went to get a sausage sandwich and a coffee eachI called in a couple of antique shops, and chatted about knives to a couple of guys, buying a few on the way. No Lambs though sadly
We walked down the hill, onto the front, and along to the pier, buying an ice-cream on the way

Glad you can wear a hat again, Jack!! Tweed is the quintessential material for a Flat Cap!!!Thank you my friend, I was at the hospital yesterday, and the wound is healing quite well. My next appointment is in 6 weeks time. I have been able to wear my tweed cap again, but it's now a bit warm for tweed! I was certainly glad of it on my road trip though!

Cool pic Mitch![]()
I sure hope she is OK MitchI can remember being in a similar pickle when I was in my late teens, and it was very frustrating (I couldn't go out). I hope Lorna is able to manage OK

Sorry to hear Lorna's troubles continue Mitch. May she heal fast and make a full recovery.![]()
Thanks gents. As I've said before lorna is on the spectrum, likes routine and alone time loves adult colouring books and spend hours doing them and won't be able to while healing. We can see a bit of frustration in the futureNice pic and best wishes to Lorna for a good recovery !
Thanks mate !
Great pic of your FC Lamb !

Looking good Jack !
Can't be too careful these days !
Good luck BobStarting to paint the wife's condo, getting ready to sell it. Georgia and our granddaughter are calling.
