  2. Folklore - November's Night

    Share Share Post
    Novembers night fall's on the 31th of October. On that night the people play a lot of games. Some kick cabbage on the road, others have a tub of water, and an apple and a half-crown in the water. Some tie and apple to the roof, and try to catch the apple with their mouth.
