  1. Care of the Feet

    Share Share Post
    In this parish, long ago the people wore no boots, but in later times they wore shoes called clogs. The clogs were made of sallie wood and they were very light.
    The boys in this parish leave off their boots in summer, but other cannot leave them off at all. Some people get chilblains and corns on their feet.
    Some people wear sandals made off rubber. These are very light on the feet.
