  1. The Tallon Iron

    Share Share Post
    The tallon iron is an iron used for the making up of a cap called the fore bordered cap. This cap was worn by women long ago together with a cloak called the hood cloak. The hood cloak and fore bordered cap were fashionable in their time. The dress at that time is similar to what the nuns wear to day.

    “May the Lord Above...”

    Share Share Post
    May the Lord above
    Send down a dove,
    With teeth as sharp as a razor.
    To cut the throats of the Lahardane rogues
    Who stole Micky Nannie's bacon.
