Saint Peter's Day - Paint your Boat and Change your wife!

On Saint Peter's Day it was said that fishermen would repaint their boats and change their mate.

We are not entirely sure why changing a partner would be a celebration of Saint Peter. 

Tidying up your boat made a lot of sense, of course, as that would please the piscatorial chap. 

This might just be slander.

Or it might be true...

Pay Your Bills! It's Pied Piper Day!

Today is Pied Piper day.
According to "The Mystical Year" this is the day that the Pied Piper visited Hamelin and exacted his terrible revenge for non-payment of bills...
A lesson for us all methinks...

Avoid the Devil's Porridge!

This Midsummer Day if you are approached by the devil with a steaming bowl of delicious porridge.
Ignore him.
Blank him.
Do not eat the porridge.
If you do not eat the porridge you will be safe from his wicked ways and he will briefly be at your beck and call.

Please note this only seems to happen at Chanctonbury Rings...
