Thank you Dwight.
FANTASTIC !! Thanks for the picsAfternoon Guardians, I've only been back home a few minutes, but I thought you guys might like to see a few hastily-taken snaps of my loot!
Oh, Scotch whisky, golf, curling, haggis, kilts, bagpipes, scones, and Presbyterianism (my favourite Protestant sect--and I'm Catholic!)! What a land! And the heather and the hills! "My heart's in the highlands." Oh, and Burns. And Stevenson. Would love to visit.LOL! Scotland is a spectacularly beautiful country, with warm, friendly people, and a rich history. As I have many friends there, I have occasionally thought that it would be a wonderful place to live But I figure they already have to put up with enough sassenachs (most of whom - the posh ones - live in Edinburgh)!
Tease.Cheers Guardians
Hey Jack, If I missed the email about these pleeeeease pm me.Cheers Guardians
Oh, Scotch whisky, goff, curling, haggis, kilts, bagpipes, scones, and Presbyterianism (my favourite Ptotestant sect--and I'm Catholic!)! What a land! And the heather and the hills! "My heart's in the highlands." Oh, and Burns. And Stevenson. Would love to visit.

I think I might have drooled a little.....and not because there is a beer in the picture.
Good evening Guardians!

And still pretty thinly populated, according to Penelope Keith.You'd love it Vince I am lucky to have spent a fair bit of time in Scotland, but there are plenty of parts of it I have never been to, and still await exploration
Great picture, Barry. I suddenly have the urge to go fishing.Good evening Guardians!
Thank you, Jack.Very nice John
Be safe and have fun.Morning Guardians, the rain is easing off here, so I'm going to make a dash for the post office, do some shopping, and possibly get a chance to take a pic or two See you later folks, hope everyone has a great day
Fun picture and my favorite kind of cookies. Must be my Scottish blood.And still pretty thinly populated, according to Penelope Keith.
Great picture of your stag, Ron.Have a great Saturday Guardians!
They are my favorite cookies, too. My blood is half Eastern European and half butter.Fun picture and my favorite kind of cookies. Must be my Scottish blood.
Oh that must have ruined your day, eh?Old Engineer - Harry I hope everything goes well with your grandson. The last time I sat in a hospital waiting room I left a brand new Mudbug on the armrest of the chair. No doubt it made someone's day!
Beautiful Lambs folks. Have a great weekend.View attachment 1141199
Thanks for posting that Charlie. A great remembrance and useful bit of Lambsfoot history for today. I'm super happy you're on the mend and posting again.View attachment 1141193 View attachment 1141194 View attachment 1141195 View attachment 1141196 View attachment 1141197 View attachment 1141198
Today marks 95 years ago that the brave George Mallory died on Mt. Everest near the summit .
The above artifacts were found many years later with his remains and include a large Lamb Foot knife, made bt W.E.Oates. My estimation makes the knife 4 1/3 inches. R.I.P.
A useful knife for the outdoors I'd say.
Lol... That's hilarious, probably because I can relate.They are my favorite cookies, too. My blood is half Eastern European and half butter.
Great post Charlie. So good to have you back.Today marks 95 years ago that the brave George Mallory died on Mt. Everest near the summit .
Yep, I went back to see if it had been turned in. Thanks John. Haveagoodn.Oh that must have ruined your day, eh?
Beautiful image of your Lamb, as usual
