  1. These are the signs of rain:-
    The wind coming from the South.
    The swallows flying low.
    The smoke going straight from the chimney.
    The soot falling.
    The dog sleeping.
    The hills looking near.
    The Devil's Bit black.
    The smoke blowing down.
    The rooks gathering together and cawing.
    The rooks gathering together and cawing.
    The wind whistling in the keyhole.
    The walls weeping.
    The sun rising and the sky is red.
    The fire blue.
    Insects seen on top of the ground.
    The sky getting dark.
    Wild geese roaring.
