I forgot to boggle at - crawchies from a turkey nest?????? What in the world?
Sometimes I feel like there ARE different countries within the Australian continent. I have NEVER heard of a crawchie?! Seeing you called them freshwater yabbies I'm gonna assume they are what we call plain old 'yabbies' (we don't have non-freshwater yabbies.... )
What are they doing in a turkey nest?? The only yabbies I know live in the mud bank of waterways.

Thanks for the tomato sauce recipe!!!!! Now I just have to hope I get at least 20 tomatoes for sauce! I can certainly envisage myself using it a lot for stews etc. I usually use the bottled one from the supermarket a lot.

Some of the tomatoes I planted are supposed to be good for sauce - the variety is called San Marzano. Whether it IS good for sauce remains to be seen! I THINK they are meant to be lower water content than other varieties? Not 100% sure.

Brilliant about your milk supply! Can't wait to see the pics of calves. You could make cheese too! I think cheeses like ricotta are supposedly quite easy to make.
Sorry to hear about your other cow not making it..... poor thing.
