    The tyings are called - fetters & spancels.
    Branches are not hung for luck.
    Milking customs: none except the May Morning danger.
    Milking is done in the fields in summer.
    Some milkers hum a tune while milking.
    Horses: Nothing extra.
    Setting of eggs: The eggs are sometimes marked - fearing other birds would lay "fresh" eggs in the nests.
