    for their poor scanty meals and oftentime they would use none at all. It was also a custom of theirs when visiting to each others houses to have a long well scrubbed timber table laid on the middle of the floor. A very clean bag was then spread on it.

They used to go out to the neighbouring gardens picking the "crow" potatoes as we call them.
