  1. The Churn

    Share Share Post
    We use a round churn at home. It is made of wood and when we are churning we have it left on the table and two little legs under it to keep it firm
    The churn is different to the one used long ago.
    The butter is made twice a week in Summer and once in Winter because the cows have plenty grass in Summer and they dont have it Winter.
    There are a good deal of things not allowed while churning
    The people wouldn't allow you
