    Poeple in old times used to spin their own flax and made their own linen. The spinner spun and the weaver wove the thread.
    They made their candles from rushes in olden times. They used to make cloth baskets and crandies from sally rods.
    They used to make wooden ploughs. They used to make their own fire-screens out and fancy paper. They all used to thatch their own houses with straw.
    They used to make their own chairs and tables out of wood. They ysed to fish and fowl as a pastime in olden times.
