    1. When Brandon Hill is caped
    2. When the soot falls down the chimney.
    3. When a multitude of sea-guls come
    to land.
    4. When the sky is black with clouds.
    5. When a herd of sheep are together in a corner
    of a field (Mrs Hayden Coolroe)
    6. When birds are flying low.
    7. When the clouds are boxing it is a sign of bad
