  1. Things Lucky

    Share Share Post
    When you are dressing if you happen by mistake to put any of your garments on with the wrong side out it is supposed to be very lucky
    It is supposed to be lucky when a cow calves to put a two shilling piece in her milk when she is a milking. It is also supposed to be lucky to tie a red ribbon round her tail to keep her from been shot by the fairies.
