    Dying
    Long ago the people used to dye their own wool with a root called beet which they found in the bogs. It was about the size of a potato.

  2. Local Marriage Customs

    Share Share Post
    The people in this parish get married before Advent, and they get married on Wednesday for they consider it a lucky day.
    There is a rhyme,
    Monday for wealth,
    Tuesday for health,
    Wednesday the best day of all,
    Thursday for losses,
    Friday for crosses,
    Saturday no luck at all,
