ABC of Pictures - Letter Y
Y is for... Yarning or "having a good yarn"
The word yarning is believed to have come to New Zealand from Australia in the mid-1800. It means passing the time by telling stories. A yarn is not necessarily a tall or untrue tale, but more like having a chat or a catch up. There is nothing like "a good yarn" with someone.. a catch up..
Emma having "a good yarn" with Nana...
Enjoying a "yarn" and a cuppa with cousin Samuel...
Having a "yarn" with Uncle Steve about the best way to get the Escort started...

Nice one Mum! I love that first photo of Emma, it cracks me up when I see it.
I love it.
They don't use that word much, if at all over here, and I love it.
Yarn, I intend to add this to my vocabulary:)
