   Easter Sunday is also a great feast day especially with the children. The children of this district give a pic-nic out in the fields. First they light a fire, then they boil eggs and make tea. Each child brings their own eggs and these are called "Cludoges". On "May Day" the children cut a branch from the sloe-bush. Then they get primroses and blue-bells and they tie them in little bunches with little bits of coloured strings on the sloe-bush. Hallow-Een is also a good night because there are all sorts of games played and there are also sweet cakes made.
