Hope you didnt have to cook for all the shearers AND do the seafood for Easter as well?! My Mum always made swiss rolls for the shearers, hence it was our favorite time of the year! :) Happy Easter, ANZAC day and happy quilting Sue SA.Sue SAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12802460291741438603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222786315881803285.post-44355223977434597752011-04-24T07:58:53.444+10:002011-04-24T07:58:53.444+10:00Wow, these photos bring back memories of the old d...Wow, these photos bring back memories of the old days!

There is the stitching, the friends, the family life (and your's is most interesting), the photography, the farm life, and now a piece of Australian history. I read back on your previous blog explaining your Countries holiday on Monday...ANZAC...and found that to me most interesting. Thank you for sharing that with us.<br />Holly (Canada)nimble thimble stitchery-dohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10743389636643239816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222786315881803285.post-28257460320085295692011-04-23T07:33:33.875+10:002011-04-23T07:33:33.875+10:00Reminds me so much of when I was little and sheari...Reminds me so much of when I was little and shearing time...I was glad when it was over!!
