On Wednesday: a hard winter and a wet summer. On Thursday: a soft winter and a very good summer. On Friday: a moderate winter and a moderate Autumn. And on Saturday: a windy winter and a good summer. |

Christmas Eve A cup of milk And a wheaten cake, And a spark of fire For the Travellers' sake. A door on the latch, A light on the pane, Lest the Traveller's pass In the wind and rain. Food for the fire And candlelight The Travellers' Blessing On us this night. |
