Easy day for my lambfoot today, one small task, and it gets the rest of the day to just lay around, show off that patina, and just look cool!

An absolute delicacy we have over here. Potato Cakes. Thinly sliced potato, about 1/16 of an inch, dipped in batter, fried, left to go cold, then fried again, so double fried. With some salt and vinegar if you like, just magnificent. And in some sliced fresh bread with butter { A Potato Cake Sarnie } or a bread roll, UUUMMMM..
They are, trust me.. And this is a Sunday Breakfast Treat. A reheated potato cake, with a fried or poached egg on top with some salt and pepper and worcestershire sauce..
Happy days! There are not a fraction of the fish and chip shops here that there used to be Very interesting post about the language Leon. We have potato cakes here, I make them quite often, but they are essentially shallow-fried mashed potato 'cakes', usually with various things added, such as onion, herbs, cheese, bacon, etc, and there is 'bubble and squeak' too! Potato cakes are very popular in Ireland, but the ones I've had have all been much the same as the ones here. When I was a kid, a scallop was just a round piece of potato, fried like a chip Some fish and chips shops here also sell 'rissoles', but the composition of them varies even more than fish-cakes!
I was trying to find a photo of a Lambsfoot, and I know that I have several, but with more than 20,000 knife photos on my PC, it's a bit of a struggle finding them Here's chip butty! I'm hungry now!
Came down stairs to leave for school and found this bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich on an English muffin that my wife made for me! She’s pretty awesome! Perfect opportunity to use my lambfoot and snap a picture. Have a great day everyone!

Feeling worn out after after an early start I'm suffering with my feet again at the moment, and standing up can be harder on them than walking about. I wish I had time for a nap! Hope everyone is having a good day
Been a pretty nice day here in Yorkshire, not hot, but sunny and pleasant. I took my pal and his lad, Cillian, to see ancient Harewood Castle first.
Then to the nearby church, which itself dates to 1410.
We then went in search of deer. I had already told Cillian that he had to wear camouflage, and I suggested he neutralise his scent by rolling in the grass, and rubbing himself down with it He did so enthusiastically, and employed some belly-crawling to get as close as possible to the deer. I think he'll sleep tonight!
Unfortunately, the nearby pub is still closed, so after concluding our walk, we headed back to the city for a couple of pints (orange juice for Cillian). We all agreed it was a pretty good day
Such sturdy knives, like that rosewood Ed!
Good showing of J Adams today. Flintrocker, looks like yours is having a tough day too!Lambsfoot on Lambs Ears.
In my garden I have some plants called Lambs Ears, which grow very well around here. The leaves are very soft and fuzzy. I thought my J. Adams lambsfoot would enjoy taking a morning break in a soft bed:
We are trying our best.. You have a good weekend my friend..I’ve been trying to eat a little healthier lately, and y’all aren’t helping!

Great to see photos of the market again, Jack! I was going to ask how your mate with the tool stall was getting on, but I see it’s already been asked and answered.
Great photos! (Sorry, had to cut the last two out or it wouldn’t let me post… but they were great, too! )
Thank you for the beautiful pictures Jack Black , they soothe my tired bones! I'm sure Cillian's mom will thank you for the grass stains! And finally, a special thank you for the stream picture, worth drowning a worm in there. Life's been really hectic for me, I'm hoping it will relent in the near future.
Stay safe, stay healthy
Cheers
Ted
Beautiful countryside Jack!Hope everyone is having a good day I enjoyed going for a hike again today
Beautiful countryside Jack!
Jack B you live in a beautiful place my friend. Spectacular scenery posted today. I love old cemeteries and the castle and church were a treat to see. I'm glad to hear your buddy with the tools stall is hanging in there!
Have a great weekend y'all.View attachment 1547988View attachment 1548000
I see a nice stream like that one and wonder if there are any trout in it? Looks like it would be prime fishing territory. Your HHB is looking good.Been a pretty nice day here in Yorkshire, not hot, but sunny and pleasant. I took my pal and his lad, Cillian, to see ancient Harewood Castle first.
