The rain that arrived for our plant sale was definitely not predicted by the
BBC weather man. In future we should take heed of folklore to plan our
events:
Look to the weather Village Folk
If ducks and drakes their wings do flutter high,
Or tender colts upon their backs do lie;
If sheep do bleat or play and skip about,
Or swine hide by straw bearing on their snout;
If oxen lick themselves against the hair,
Or grazing kine to feed apace appear;
If cattle bellow, gazing from below,
Or if dogs’ entrails rumble to and fro;
