- Easter
Easter Sunday means as we know it now that the end of Lent is at hand. Before the year
1828 or so there was no leave for meat during
Lent either on Sunday or any other day. Easter
is always associated with eggs around here.
Some years ago it was the custom here for people, especially youngsters to go round collecting eggs (free of course) with the cry -
Gimmie my Easter Cludhogues or it
might have been cluide or from the Latin
Ovum. - You are not logged in, but you are welcome to contribute a transcription anonymously.
