Just the Kingston for shoulder therapy again.
Those physical therapist are really pretty amazing.
Prior to 1976, you could keep any sort of wild animal as a pet here, with few, if any, regulations. Just round the corner from where I live today, a mile or so from the centre of Leeds, a man kept a full-grown lion in his garage. The poor beast was chained to the floor, and school children queued up to see it, paying a penny a time. One day, the lion escaped, and was roaming the, normally busy, streets, for a couple of hours, before the police turned up, tranquilized it, and took it to a zoo. I understand that the incident led to a change in the law, and the introduction of the Dangerous Wild Animals Act in 1976. I tried finding a photo of the lion online, (as I remember seeing it on the TV), but it seems there were a lot of similar cases! :eek:
Nice to see that Lamb stepping out of the shadow. ;):thumbsup:
Thanks pal, it's very light and pocketable :) :thumbsup:

Congratulations to the winners :) You have outdone yourself Bob :) Having already been a victim of your generosity, I didn't think of entering, but also realised that as I remembered wishing your wife Happy Birthday recently in the Guardians thread, I had a significant advantage! 🤣 :thumbsup:

It's always nice to share your travels John :thumbsup: There is a similar bench outside our local library. Unfortunately, the plaque refers to the soldiers, from all over the British Commonwealth, who fell in WW1 (and of course the Commonwealth was not then established) :rolleyes: That's a very handsome war memorial isn't it? After a busy war in Europe, my Granddad was in both Palestine and Egypt, with the RA :thumbsup:
Priceless! 🤣:thumbsup:

Dangerous Wild Animals Act in 1976. I tried finding a photo of the lion online, (as I remember seeing it on the TV), but it seems there were a lot of similar cases! :eek:
We have them in SW Michigan, but last I knew they were deemed to be exotic pets abandoned in the wake of a law like yours, not constituting a breeding population. Which we all believe, like, totally.:rolleyes:

In all the times I’ve looked at pics of your Hartshead Barlow, I’ve never noticed that crooked little ridge in the stag. Quite distinctive, and very cool. 🤙

Regarding your second pic, to satisfy my curiosity, please take a minute and count the rings on that beautiful old tree stump.
You may need these, being a man of a certain age…B9BDED33-FA9A-498D-A51F-CA7316E02A48.jpegHeck. I need them to look at this thread.
 
23 Jack with ‘loid scales, and Loewen Messer with pretty wood. The Jack is old ~ late ‘40s, I guess. No idea how old the Lion is, but it sure looks old. Harry gave it to me.

If you’ll forgive me, I thought I would take and share some pics of what we are still eating out of the garden.
