Aah yes, the memories of those days. I have very vague memory of sitting on a ‘gasitah’ (?) and of going to the rice fields by bullocks. Omg those things were big ( or I was small…lol) in the early days we also had people cutting rice…my mom cut rice when I was a baby ( so I was told)

I was teaching at GP and still was planting/patching rice. I remember watching the guys ‘shy’ the paddy.

later my mamoo got a few tractors and eventually we used combiner to harvest…still had to cut if the land was too wet for the combiner.

i also remember the leeches…eeeeeeeek. Omg a leech attached to hubby’s lower leg while he and his friend were cleaning the parapet at our friends’ cottage up north

i also remember using a seine to chase Patwa while planting’beeya’t
