    we do have a great feast day around here on the 15th of august. people come from far and near to Lady well to perform and they come up to Abbey for refreshments when they have the rounds done.
    we do have a great day also the 1st of April. We call it fools day around here. Why we call it fools day is everyone does be making fools of one another.
    We also have a feast on november night. It is called Halloween, the people eat nuts and they also play games diving for money and they put up an apple on the cieling and try which would get the first bit.
    All the people
