    The old trades the people had long ago were, carding wool, spinning, weaving, dyeing clothes remarkable colours. The old people used to make flannel out of the sheep wool. They used to peel the skin of rods and make white baskets with them. Long ago the old people used to make candles out of bog sticks.
