  2. Feet

    Share Share Post
    Some of the people used to be twenty years long ago before they would wear any shoe. The boots were made in Bangor and in Glencastle before now. Some of the people used to wear boots with wooden soles. Those boots were made in England. The people say that it is not right to throw out the water in the night that the feet are washed in until morning.
