May day.
May day is on the first of May.On this day the May hawthorn brush is brought in and hung up on the rafters. This is called "bringing in the May bush".This brown is left inside for a full year .It is unlucky to take on a furze .if this is taken in the people of the house will be fighting all the year.
people do not like others coming to their wells on may Eve.Lots of people would not give out any milk om May Morning because it might lessen their supply of butter.
