Betwixt Hope and Wardlow Mires (just south of Abney Moor I think).
CelloDan - A well played day.
That's fantastic, Dan! It must have been quite a thrill for her to perform with Felix and I'm sure it was a Proud Papa moment for you, too! Wonderful that the hospital was able to benefit from the experience, too. Well done all around.
CelloDan Congrats on a great day Dan!
Fantastic news Dan, congratulations to your daughter, and her proud dad Thanks for the great photos
Congratulations to you and your daughter. I'm glad it was a successful day.
Thank you Jack. Well at least you have beans, beer, and bread. Cheers!Cool pic my friend
“All’s well that ends well.” That’s a beautiful Barlow, Bill.I'm more happy with it for sure.
Thanks Rob, I mainly bought it to have an example of the pinched bolsters in case one of the Sheffield firms had been willing to recreate them Hard to say about the stamp, they could have even existed at the same time, since Thomas Turner's was a huge producer in its day, and would have used out-workers and sub-contracted small firms like all the other Sheffield cutlers. Turner's 1902 catalogue, which you can find in the appropriate sticky, shows a mixture of blade stamps, but those stamps may have been simplified by the artist who did the line-drawings for the publication. Turner's became a limited company in 1918, but that may not have made any difference to the tang-stamps. Ownership of the company also changed, it was bought by Joseph Hobson & Co in 1893, and became part of Sheffield Cutlery Manufacturers Ltd in 1916. It was bought by Lee & Crookes in 1932, before being bought by Viners. I'm afraid I'm unsure when they were granted the Royal Warrant
Those peaches look yummy.
Those look good Les As does your Lambsfoot
I come here mostly for the pictures!!!
Oh, and for Jack Black's research!!
Dukes mayonnaise and grits are two things I stocked up on when the trouble started! Oh, and of course TP! Beautiful Lambsfoot Barrett!
LOL! Doesn't Joe Pesci look young there?!
Despite the poor weather, I had quite a nice walk A couple of deer crossed my path on my way back (at this point I was about a mile and a half from the centre of Leeds). I might have got a photo had I been on my own (instead of with my girlfriend, who just stood pointing, and shouting "Deer!") I also saw a couple of llamas, but they were on a local farm Some strange fruit growing on the trees roundabouts
Thank you Guardians !
I am so happy to say that she played beautifully and that my equipment did not malfunction ( only the battery got dangerously low nearing the end of the recording, wow ... the stress +++ )
Setting up equipment, warm ups, sound checks and troubleshooting plus performance took longer than anticipated.
We spend more than 3 hours with "Felix" , one of the most famous pianos in Ottawa worth $ 200,000
He even has his own Instagram page
For the the time spend with Felix we got the opportunity to donate to CHEO , our children's hospital in Ottawa

Looking good John, thought you might be interested in my biscuit choice today!
Hot beans on toasted bread Vince, buttered or un-buttered according to preference. You can add some black pepper, grated cheese, Henderson's Relish and/or Tabasco if you want
I posted a link in this thread a few weeks back to a report I'd read about the effect of this fiasco on U.S craft brewers and it made sober reading. It was estimating as many as 40% may not survive, which I sincerely hope has not been the case.

Thank you Guardians for all the warm and positive vibes
I just passed your congrats to my daughter
Today I feel spent ... got up at noon lol, just want to sit on the couch all day
I may get up to start a sourdough batch
Yesterday the much desired Lodge cast iron combo cooker finally arrived
(my current dutch oven works ok but was not ideal for baking )
Thank you Jack. Well at least you have beans, beer, and bread. Cheers!

Thanks Jack, appreciate the info
Lambfoot content for the day, had to crop a blasphemous sheepfoot out of this recycled photo from an old stag Saturday post
Yep. That movie’s almost 30 years old!
Great photos, Jack! Not really sure what’s going on in that last one, though.
Great mug, Jack!
What kind of person prefers unbuttered toast?
(Besides Elwood, that is.)
Buttered!
Unless you've gone vegan for your diabetes.
The closest I can come to sharing a pint with Jack Black and @donn at one of those wonderful English pubs they often post about and I'm sure are missing frequenting.
Picked up from the brewery/pub as a to-go order. Love the place: the beers are served from hand-pulled beer engines and they have outstanding chips (a.k.a. fries stateside). Took my Hartshead there for both the day it arrived.
For the first time in a long time I’ve been without a Lambsfoot in my pocket all day. It’s been a long, hot, hard day. I’ve got my stag big’un now and I’m relaxing with a hot cup of builders tea and a few cookies.
