- (continued from previous page)The people used to get up at seven o'clock and go out working on their farms until nine o'clock and then they would eat their breakfast.
The very old people only got tea at Christmas and at Easter and the young people were not allowed any tea at all.
The people used to eat eggs at Easter and this custom is still practiced in this district. They ate very little meat at that time, except at Christmas and at Easter. They used eat potatoes at each meal.
