  1. The Care of the Feet

    Share Share Post
    At the age of three years the children wore boots long ago. Now very few children go bare footed in the Summer.
    The boots are both repaired and made locally. The shoemakers were not very good in the olden times. There were four shoemakers in the district in olden times an now there are only two. If the people were very big people used to say "you have big understanding meaning you are all underfeet.
