Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

Way back at the start of 2020, I was excited about an adventure I had planned to visit a Maypole festival, in a small historic town, which I hadn't visited before. Barwick-in-Elmet, is only 7 miles out of Leeds, but kind of remote, and it has an interesting history, once being located in the old Celtic kingdom of Elmet. They have a Maypole festival, which in 2022 was every 2 years, and is now every 3, when they erect a new pole, the highest in the country, and there's basically lots of fun and boozing. I started researching the place, and walks I might do nearby, but then Covid came along and scuppered my plans. I'd more or less forgotten about it, until Matt, who remembered my excitement, mentioned it, and asked if I wanted to go out there tomorrow (a holiday here). This was a few weeks back, and I have to say, both of us would prefer to go to a local music festival organised by 2 friends of ours, but the kids are excited, and Ruth, Matt's missus, has arranged to meet an old school friend out there. Since some of the roads are closed because of the festival, and Matt wants a few pints, getting out there and back is going to involve a couple of expensive taxi rides, but hopefully, if the weather forecast improves, it'll be a good day. There's a few links below, but maybe take them with a grain of salt ;) :thumbsup:

Speaking of adventures(and Baseball), my niecelet's choir just sang at a Cardinals game and my niece got a shot of the niecelet in the corner of the jumbotron.

Good morning Guardians, I hope everyone is having a great weekend :) I think I'm just going to potter around the house today, do a bit of tidying up, some lollygaggin', maybe catch up with my slingshot practice :) I have a work meeting online early evening, but it'll be an easy one. Then an adventure tomorrow ;) Have a great day Guardians :thumbsup:

I hope the weather is good for the festival 👍
 
Here's my kind of excitement: I bought a gallon of whole milk for two dollars, because it was close to its sell-by date, figuring at worst I'd be out a fraction of $2. This store sells pints for $2.
I cunningly decanted it into my golden anniversary Realemon carafes to reduce the surface area of the milk, and the third quart was good to the bottom. I expect the fourth one will be as well.
I'll do this all the time with newer whole milk, which is cheaper everywhere in gallons.
Mwahahaha.
