  2. The Lore of Certain Days

    Share Share Post
    18th March, 1938
    There are certain days when people like to start work, such as ploughing, visiting houses or leaving an old house to live in a new one. It is said that it is unlucky to visit a house on New Year's Day, but a friend can go and wish them a happy New Year.
