We had a discussion recently on the topic of how the colour blue was very rare in nature, but Borage, I found, was one of the few flowers/fruits that has this unique factor. Hearing you talking about it is such a coincidence. Thanks for keeping British identity alive with the channel and a Merry Xmas to you all on the channel, creators, contributors and viewers 🎄🦌🎄

Oh how I would have loved to see grandmothers notes, I'm interested in old English country lore, one remedy I always remembered as a kid was if you got stung by stinging nettles, pick some dock leaves, spit on them then rub them over the nettle stings to take away the pain.

I always remember working on a small holding in Scotland and the elderly lady there told me a story of when she was young a local man cut down a Rowan tree in his garden and within a week died in a car crash. In Scotland and the north of England Rowan was quite often planted in the front garden to ward off bad spirits.

My grandmother and mother knew every plant and its uses. We grew up with herbal poultices, drinks and syrups and we grew up strong. Sadly lost to our family now and thousands of others too 50 years and thousands of years of common knowledge lost to but a few 😢 But, its good to know some are keeping the old knowledge alive and current, I know of one quite elderly lady who was working with cambridge university's research department to transfer her lifetime of knowledge into a research database.

It's easy to make a circle. Just trace around a clay bowl.
@PugggleАй бұрын
Clay bowls weren't necessarily particularly perfect circles. It also has to be a tiny bowl.

Ive heard of people finding old boots or shoes hidden in houses to ward off witches, also urine in old bottles, often discovered when renovation work is taking place, never heard of a witch ball.

Why use expensive shears, when a string and two pins would do? The old lore is very old, older than christianity.

Exactly, a long time before shears I expect.
