Calla. Her name was Mrs Burke. She used to spin wool to make stockings and she used kit stockings and sell them. Thatching was a very important trade long ago. There were special men for the job. In this district there are not many thatched ones as the slated houses have taken the place of the comfortable old thatched ones and it will take time to prove will they be as good as the ones they replaced. In preparation for thatching the corn is first threashed with a flail as machine threased straw is broken or at least not as good as the old way. The straw was then drawn and made into bundles. Rods [has] in preference to and other were pulled and pointed. Scollops they were called. The thatcher has a long ladder and gets up on the roof and levels it off. Then he takes the drawen straw in handfuls and starts [underneath] leaving the ladder for guide. He leaves six handfuls of straw to his right puts a scollops twisted across the middle off the middle of the straw to hold it into position. A scoppop twisted in the middle and doubled is called a squeeser. Two squessers are driven into the roof to keep the scollop in position. Another six handfuls of straw are placed over the first to keep the straw in position
