I remember eagerly awaiting the Sunday lamb roast, so we could get another knuckle.<br /><br />I don't think I ever made it to all those on your list. I wonder if there is a You Tube on how to play as I can't remember them all.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03547978013729923113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4669538441242490462.post-18797650413093528292011-08-14T16:41:00.841+10:002011-08-14T16:41:00.841+10:00I've been catching up with your blog, Tanya. ...I've been catching up with your blog, Tanya. <br /><br />I played knucklebones with real knuckle bones and also lead ones (you didn't want to hit your own knuckle with one of those!). <br /><br />Yummy looking ricotta.<br /><br />I don't use tablecloths because the kids are far too messy - I just wipe the wooden table after use and use muslin facewipers for their grubby little paws ;)<br /><br />Your excerpts from the book were very interesting - and you have some lovely fabrics stashed away there.<br /><br />Enjoy your mutton! I'm expecting lambs from our ewes soon and they'll head to the freezer when they are big enough, mmmmmmm!Charlotte Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11696100659597422648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4669538441242490462.post-47559784808299287502011-08-14T12:27:42.204+10:002011-08-14T12:27:42.204+10:00Oh yes I remember them well!

My older kids used to play them at home and I'm sure we still have a couple of sets tucked away somewhere - I'm off to find them for the younger ones!Evihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15098163128625989839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4669538441242490462.post-34704451647938615192011-08-13T19:24:51.692+10:002011-08-13T19:24:51.692+10:00Wow! you did well to remember all those, I could o...Wow! you did well to remember all those, I could only remember a few and yes it was a great game that I had forgot all about.<br />I don't think kids play it thse days.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10593209985311215622noreply@blogger.com
