- (continued from previous page)If anybody came into the house while the churning would be going on she would give it a turn as it is said if she left the house without helping at the work "she would take the butter". People always churn before May day as it is said the fairies make the butter white instead of its natural yellow colour. Buttermilk is used for making bread and some people drink it as the cows eat herbs.
