- Long ago in the Summer time it was the custom to lay down at noon. The men would be called at twelve o'clock to dinner, after dinner all hands would lay down and sleep for about an hour. Then at two o'clock they'd be called again. They need be up at five o'clock in the morning and work 'til noon. Then at two o'clock they'd start again and keep working until nearly dark. They used sow the oats in March, the barley in April, and the wheat in November - about "All Hallows [?] Dark"
I remember to see men up drawing line at three o'clock in the morning. We had a kiln of our own, and we used to draw the column from Wexford, and the stones from Sear Quarry, and burn the lines ourselves.
