Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

Good morning Guardians !

It's a lovely day here and looks like a nice week ahead


GL-24 to start off the week.

Beautiful maple, Steve. I think I’ve mentioned here before the maple tree in our front yard. When we bought the house (in summer) I thought the big maple in the yard would be beautiful in fall. Well, it turns out it’s a maple variety that basically doesn’t change colors at all. The leaves go from dark green with a hint of red to slightly less dark green, then they fall off.

That's too bad

I thought you Guardians might enjoy this video that showed up on my YouTube suggestions today.

I think Big Jim probably would have appreciated the no-nonsense Hartshead Barlow. That’s what I’ve got in my pocket today.

Big Jim was made of stern stuff alright !

Very nice !

We got off without a sermon yesterday. The service was long enough, what with All Saints Sunday and communion.
When I win the lottery, I'll buy the church a real bell. Even a big handbell tolling by itself sounds like an electric sneeze.

I'm kind of minded of this sermon I randomly came across yesterday

A good one to start off your week. I hope you have a great day buddy

Thank you very much Steve, I hope yours went well too

Thanks, Jack. We had a good time. I’ll make that suggestion to Scout for next year. (If I make a chip butty part of the costume, she might be in.)

Brilliant! I'm sure the BBC had better programming in the 70's Bit of a twist in the ending though, maybe he was heading back to the pub! Great to see your Hartshead Barlow buddy

David, can I assume that is some beautiful horn? ( my phone does not show it clearly)

Yes it's some nice Welch Sheep Horn. I don't think it's your phone. It's highly polished and hard to get the right lighting to get a good pic. My photographic skills aren't good enough to capture it.

...
Nice patina Gary Thank you for your consideration, but that photo would have been OK

Thanks for the Lam Jack compliment, Jack, and for your "ruling" on my Halloween photo.

...
Thanks Gary.

Such a classic lamb.

Those look comfortable Gary, and your Hartshead Barlow doesn't look too bad!

HHB

Thanks for the kind comments on my rosewood HHB, Bob & Jack & David.
Jack, those boots fit very comfortably, and required no "breaking in" at all. They are surprisingly heavy, though, and the "waterproof membrane" they contain worked well through the first winter, but I wore them the following spring as I walked home from school during a heavy rain for 45 minutes, and they lost all water resistance.
I certainly do like that lambsfoot Barlow with wood handle. Since I'm carrying it all week, I'll post another photo, with a cap I'll need to pull out sometime within the next month.

You do quite well capturing your lambs.

That's some really nice horn David

The true beauty of horn is always hard to capture, but I think you're doing a good job David

It was a great day Jack, thanks my friend !



Great shot of your Rosie HHB !

Thanks buddy, great to hear I hope you have another great day today

'Waterproof membranes' used to last me about 3 months when I was doing a lot of hiking Gary, they're a bit of a con trick really, and I'd often rather not have them at all. Here's an old article of mine, looking at them. My conclusion was actually edited to appease the advertisers :rolleyes; It's an old piece, but I don't think much has changed

That should keep you warm Nice pic

Afternoon all

Really enjoying your pics Mitch

 

[Jack Black]

Good morning Guardians, I hope everyone's week is going well, so far. I have some work to do, but I'm meeting Wolfie, early evening, to go see a movie. I hope the rain has stopped by then Have a great day everyone
