For my American ears I love hearing the Aussie phrases you have...sparrow's fart being one of the more memorable ones for me. Also your photos of the animal life there is a delight and just so exotic. Life events have made me pause in my blogging and I mean to get back at it so perhaps I need to get serious and just do it!Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05557907462873511920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222786315881803285.post-68026199807784503552013-07-03T21:07:10.656+10:002013-07-03T21:07:10.656+10:00So many posts, I'm sure they weren't all r...So many posts, I'm sure they weren't all random! Some of the most memorable posts I recall were of all your EPP in the car while keeping an eye on your cows. I remember flasks of hot drinks, even a glass of bubbly or two, and making the best of a difficult situation. I love seeing another kind of farming life so different to mine, congratulations on your 1200th!Nickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15662924691039566761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222786315881803285.post-14241842204983422692013-07-03T19:41:50.109+10:002013-07-03T19:41:50.109+10:00Happy 1200 posts !!!

I could go on... and on... and on...but I won't. I'll just say thanks for a real insight into Aussie Farm Life with lovely stitching and qulting thrown in for good measure.

However, one thing I found out is that they do not import all of reader's entries. Meaning that there is a limit to how many back entries they will import. Did you find that with Freedly?
