- (continued from previous page)going to be fine. When the curlews are flying round on a windy day it is going to be wet. The first place the rain comes is across the sea.
Then if you looked over across the hills when it is going to rain you would see the mist rising. The smoke goes up to the sky straight when it is going to be fine and it comes to the ground when it is going to rain. The fire blows out towards the kitchen when it is going to rain. - When the sky is black it is a sign that it is going to rain. When the moon is clear it is going to be fine. When then sheep are going to the ditches it is a sign of rain. When the cat turns her back to the fire it is a sign of rain.
When the smoke goes up straight it is going to be fine. When the wind is blowing from the North it is a sign of rain.- Collector
