- There are a lot of pass-times in this district. Some of which are:- In Summer girls make daisy chains or dolls.
In winter time when the frost or snow is on the ground the boys make cribs. These are made to catch thrushes and blackbirds.
The boys make snares to catch rabbits and hares. These snares were made out of snare wire. They leave a lub on each end of the snare wire, so as to tie a piece of stick in one, and to catch the rabbit or the hare in the other.
