  1. St Martin's Day

    Share Share Post
    St. Martin's Day.
    About two weeks ago when I was coming to school, I found the street very quiet and there were no creamery carts of any kind to be seen. When I met my friend I enquired why there was no creamery that morning. She asked me if I knew the day I had. I replied "No". She then told me that it was Staint Martin's day. I asked "Why not have creamery that day?".
    "Because", she said, "St. Martin was killed on a mill by some wheel and on that account no wheel should turn that day".
