The younger ones who could not weave would protect the cloth from dogs and goats... each line had bells on to warn the youngsters the dogs mere pulling the cloth or the goats were chewing it... maybe at one time goats were a problem on you parents farm.. or the yard dog took to pulling the washing off.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04167792394551286975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4439136098177384900.post-6451524420745575372008-07-21T06:46:00.000+08:002008-07-21T06:46:00.000+08:00Very good photograph with beautiful coloursVery good photograph with beautiful colourskostashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05608220482775613962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4439136098177384900.post-65257379542165027762008-07-21T03:16:00.000+08:002008-07-21T03:16:00.000+08:00The bells look as though they have been there a lo...The bells look as though they have been there a long long time.
