“There was no such thing as flour bread when I was a chap, we had barley bread an' oaten bread, an' plenty o' cutlen stirabout for our breakfast.”
There was no such thing as flour bread when I was a chap, we had barley bread an' oaten bread, an' plenty o' cutlen stirabout for our breakfast.
Of coorse that time people would be out in the fields in the Summer time at 3 and 4 o clock in the mornin'.
There weren't many very strong men to my remembrance. I saw men, times an they'd carry a bag of barley under each arm from the barn to the cart
There were many big men, but there were many small ones too.
