    In June the people starts to cut the turf.

    (continued from previous page)
    bread would be cut and inch thick to fill the lads. Everybody would drink two mugs of tea at dinner. They do stay lying on the ground for and hour. The barrow men are in their bare feet to run in and out.
    About six o’clock more tea is got. The men is always complaining of pains in their back at tea time. They cut again for about two hours. The two men in the bog hole dose be down about 20 yards. Sometimes the bank might fall in.
