    Share Share Post
    The 15th. July is called St Sweden's day and it is said that if it rains on that day it will rain for forty days and if it is fine on that day it will be fine for forty days.
    There is a rhyme about St. Sweden's day.
    This is the rhyme.
    St. Sweden's day
    if thou shalt rain
    for forty days.
    Thou shalt remain.
    [Transciber's Note: 15th July is St. Swithin's Day]
