That's where all the rocks went. Someone must have gathered them up and shipped them to you...imagine the shipping lolThat's a nice idea Ken, and has made for a cool photo with your Lambsfoot. I came across a bunch of painted rocks just after the first lockdown ended here last year
And here I thought I was all special sharing something new...

Man that bread looks delicious!My ebony lamb basking in the warmth of "just out of the oven" bread we made to give out to friends ( some for us too lol ).
Great looking Ebony also, think I might be adding to the lambfoot collection soon.

That's some nice horn Jer
I hardly remember what it used to look like.
Thanks. The Jammie Dodgers are long gone, but the Lambsfoot remains.
I still DREAM in the old emojis!
You should be getting a package any day now (no Jammie Dodgers though I'm afraid)

Not sure how I managed to miss these 
The bread looks GREAT (as does your Lambsfoot obviously!) I wish I was your neighbour!
It WAS special Ken Here's one my goddaughter found and gave to me Not very interesting I'm afraid, and one side is faded from a few years on my kitchen windowsill. It came from Kirkstall Abbey, where they have a lot of kids events, and I suspect it had been given to a very small child to decorate!
Jelly looks great Matt
Another nice pic Jer

Really like this knife, I’ve been smoothing off the edges of the handle a little bit at a time with some fine sandpaper to make it feel better in my hand. Not quite there yet, slow and steady!

It looks good
I remember a few folks rounding off the covers on various Lambsfoot knives. I did think about doing it with one of mine, but never did. However, this Afican Blackwood re-build by

Slow is best. It doesn't take a lot of sanding to round off the corners.

Rachel and Jack, have a post story for you. Six weeks ago i purchased a couple of knife tools from a company in London. Had it sent by Royal British Mail, if that is the correct terminology, and paid a bit extra for tracking. Fantastic service, arrived here in Melbourne in 6 days
, so it only took 6 days to travel 10,500 miles. It then took 28, yes 28 days to travel 24 miles from one side of Melbourne to the other once Australia Post got their hands on it. Hope you have better luck.

I didn't mind the original look, either. The particular size and shape of the handle had the sharp-ish corner hitting a nerve in the heel of my hand. Just annoying enough to get me to take a file and sandpaper to it.That looks good Rachel
Thanks! I'm sure you'll do great!Very nice! Hope I can do as good of a job as you did.

Nothing so extreme as that, but sometimes the last 20 feet is the longest part of the journey. Tracking will show two-day domestic priority mail arrive on time, only to sit another day or so to move from the loading dock to the p,o,box.

It has been awhile since I posted on the Guardians site. My computer crashed and I had to reload the operating system and get a new hard drive installed.
It's up and running but there was some lost data. 
Thank God for the iCloud. I've been busy with packing boxes too as we are packing up for a move into a new house at the end of May. Fun and games! Anyway, the HHB has been at my side getting a good workout.

The emojis are CRAZY!

I once had a package come from the US, which despite being correctly addressed, for some reason, went via Australia, where Customs opened it, and held onto it for more than a month, before sending it on its way 
Nasty!
That'd annoy me too Rachel. The only time I've HAD to do that was with some shielded GEC stag, which had been left positively sharp How rotten Bill, sounds like you've really had your hands fullIt has been awhile since I posted on the Guardians site.

It's good to see you back buddy, and your Hartshead Barlow of course Good morning Guardians, on Thursdays, I am usually down at the market by now, but last week the buses into town were overcrowded, so I am waiting a while until the rush is over. Kind of strange not being down there. Have a good day Guardians
