Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[donn]

The memory does get a little foggy with age. I always attribute it to the fact that we have acquired so much knowledge and information that sometimes the data banks just can’t keep up!

Phew! So it's not the barrels of ale and knocks to the head doing silly stuff?

Lambsfoot accompanied me this morning to the Doctors office for an ultrasound, my wife is 18 weeks pregnant with twins, and today we got the fantastic news that we will be having twin boys! What a day! I am so excited!

Congratulations!

Here's my Eleanor with her knife:

She'll graduate to a lambsfoot eventually!


[Not a real knife, so I hope it doesn't violate the non-lambsfoot knife rule!]

Yip. She looks like trouble....

Well shucks, must be somthin' goin' around, 'cause I hafta go in Friday for day surgery to repair a recurrent hernia myself! Dad burn it all!!! I wish I was tougher instead of so damn good lookin'! ha

Oh well, I'll be dreamin' of lambs foots.....

Good luck! Wishing you a speedy recovery.

I don't know what it is about my camera. It always focuses on the ale...

This is one of the reasons we are moving from our home of 18 years. They are building two 5 story apartments right off our back deck Obstructing our view and peace and quiet. As you can tell the forest is gone and as a result, the squirrels, chipmunks and nesting birds are gone as well.
And of course, my trusty Lambsfoot will carry us through,

That's damned annoying Dave. Are people able to lodge objections to building projects in Canada? We can here in the UK; not that anyone seems to pay any attention.

That's horrible, Dave. Good reason to move. Hope the new place is peaceful.

David we as a neighborhood fought the town two years ago on this monster project and lost. Money for the coffers rules over common sense.

Thank you, Vince, once everything is in place it should be.

Most unfortunate Dave. Growth is everywhere, it seems, and sometimes not under very much control, unless it's the control of money.

Top o' the mornin' Guardians! Here is a recent acquisition from an earlier period in the lamb foot timeline:

Very nice find Barry, Jonathan Crookes, quality old Sheffield name with a great tang stamp. Just on my phone right now, but will catch up when I get home

You hit the nail on the head Barry. Money rules, even over the environment.

Mmmmm

Beauty, that one Taylor!

Thanks!

I don't follow sport much, but I used to enjoy listening to boxing on the radio (enjoy watching it too)

My kitchen table is not too bad at the moment Barrett, but I have a very large box full of all the knives I've picked up which would otherwise be on the table to remind me to clean them. Of course, since they're in the box, I kind of forgot about them

Thanks Barrett, I did wonder about the horses, which were absolutely amazing. They were all trained and supplied by a firm called Atkinson Action Horses, the riders seemed to be pretty familiar with them though (we were closest to the Canadian team). They supply horses for films, and also put on their own shows (from a quick look at their website): http://actionhorses.co.uk/ There's some videos online too, eg:

(Better get Dave Horsewright back in here to have a look at that )

The Royal Armouries did have their own horses and riders, who put on free displays several times a day, falcons and handlers, a resident armourer and a gunsmith, but they all got made redundant a few years ago

Such a great pic my friend

Morning guys. Pretty impressive video. Watched it a couple of times as that sage colored wildrag (scarf) he was wearing at the very beginning looks like one we made. Its a very unique silk and once you see it and feel it you recognize it. Here Miss Gracie is wearing a wine colored one:

Sage and different shades of it has been one of our biggest sellers and we have sold them all over the world including quite a few to the UK. here's a sage in Norway:

Anyhoo a talented horseman and very talented horses too. My wife Nichole use to ride a very tall horse and a friend of ours Rex Peterson, who has done a lot of movie work (Appaloosa, Hidalgo, Horse Whisper, All the Pretty Horses, Black Stallion Returns etc) lives close by. He told us to bring the horse out one day and he spent all afternoon teaching Nichole how to teach the horse to bow and then kneel so it would be easier for Nichole to get on him. All he wanted in exchange was for me to sharpen a damascus knife Matt Damon had given him when filming All the Pretty Horses.

Sorry to hear that. Sounds like Canadian buffoonary is the same as British buffoonary...
Hope your new place doesn't suffer the same fate.

From the images of that beautiful view, I can appreciate your chagrin. Hopefully, the view will be equally breathtaking.

What a crying shame After some adjustment, I'm sure you will find comfort and solace in your new digs
Best of everything to you and yours

Thank you Ron, and yes they are!

It is great having you here Barry

Jack Black your Damascus Lambsfoot is like a never ending honeymoon.

LOL!

Maybe it's a CAMRA camera David

Oh Dave, that is absolutely appalling! What a crying shame I have some friends here who are going through the same thing at the moment

Hey Dave, glad you found the video of interest That has got to be one of your wildrags my friend, they look darn cool too That is a great story

My two oldies:

Great pic Barry, I like that cane, as well as those fab old knives

 

[Pt-Luso]

Looking good Jose

Thanks Jack...

 

[gunstockjack]

Great pic Barry, I like that cane, as well as those fab old knives

Thank you Jack; the cane is one I made for myself after using a cheap store-bought model. Not that I need it, you understand! It's just that I can stay upright longer with than without!

That is sad Dave. Sorry to see that matey. No way could I have stayed after that. Rather be in a tent. I am glad you won't be having to endure it.

Common sense is most definitely on the endangered attributes list.

Have a great weekend Guardians.
