    The first day for digging new potatoes is the 29th of June and it is lucky to sow potatoes on Good Friday.
    May day is an unlucky day for people to give away meat, or salt or milk to anyone. People thing they would never have it if they give it away on this day.
    People say it is unlucky to keep the water which they are after waching their feet in, in at night.
    So every one throws it out when they have finished with it.
