    Share Share Post
    During the summer time if the weather is warm most of the school children in this district espechially the boys go in their bare feet.
    Long ago people wore clogs more commonly than any other kind of footware because they were cheaper and wore better than any other kind, but people are wiser now they have found out they are bad for the feet. All the same some people ware them yet. There are very few cobblers in this district.
