ONE FOR HAT
 ** -- 1947 the Old Man's diary -- JAN TO DEC -- **                      September Weather: September blows soft, 'till the fruit's in the loft.         September dries up wells or breaks down bridges.         St.Matthew's Day (21st) brings cold, rain and dew.          If the North wind blows on Michaelmas Day (29th), October month is sunny & gay.         If St Michael brings many acorns, Christmas will cover the fields with Snow.          If the hart and the hind meet dry and part dry on Rood Day fair (25th), for six weeks, there'll be nae mair.           If dry be the buck's horn' On Holyrood morn, 'Tis worth a kist of gold; But if wet it be seen, Ere Holyrood e'en, Bad harvest is foretold.          The first Snow comes six weeks after the last thunderstorm in September.         A wind in the South, has rain in her mouth.      When the sky is red in the morning, and sounds travel far at night; When fish jump high from the water, and flies stick tight, and bite; When you can't get salt from your shaker, and your corn gives you extra pain, There's no need to consult an almanac, you just know it's going to rain.        A dark Michaelmas, a light Christmas         St. Michael's rain does not stay long in the sky          St Michael is supposed to have thrown the Devil out of Heaven on Michaelmas Day. The Devil fell into a Bramble bush and returns every Michaelmas Day to curse, stamp and spit on the bush. Therefore one must not pick blackberries after Michaelmas.         Goose was traditionally eaten on St Michael’s Day. If the breast bones of the goose are brown after roasting the following winter should be mild, but if the bones are white or have a slight blue hue then the Winter will be severe.          September 29th (St.Michael and All Angels) Michaelmas Day is the feast of Saint Michael the Archangel,          September 23rd - Autumnal Equinox. The September Equinox occurs at 00:06 UTC. The Sun will shine directly on the Equator and there will be nearly equal amounts of day and night throughout the world. This is also the first day of Fall (Autumnal Equinox) in the Northern Hemisphere and the first day of Spring (Vernal Equinox) in the Southern Hemisphere.        Nutting Day; The story goes that The Devil's Nightcap (there are several hills with this name) near Alcester, in Warwickshire, was formed when the Devil was out nutting on September 21st (known as the Devil's Nutting Day) and met the Virgin Mary. He was so surprised and shocked that he dropped his bag of nuts, which became the hill.           Tribute to Oliver Cromwell: Houses of Parliament. Each year on the anniversary of Cromwell's death, September 3rd, the Association holds an annual service of commemoration by the statue that stands by the Palace of Westminster. The service is only open to members of the Association, but the service can be observed from the pavement, which overlooks the statue.           Crying the neck; Madron Old Cornwall Society celebrated the ancient custom of Crying the Neck at Boswarthen. The origins of the custom are obscure. However, it is said that in days gone by the whole of the reaping of the corn had to be done with a hook or scythe. The harvest often lasted for many weeks.          September 26th - Full Moon. The Moon will be located on the opposite side of the Earth as the Sun and its face will be will be fully illuminated. This phase occurs at 16:50 UTC. This Full Moon was known by early Native American tribes as the Full Corn Moon because the corn is harvested around this time of year. This Moon is also known as the Harvest Moon. The Harvest Moon is the Full Moon that occurs closest to the September Equinox each year.         Horn Dance ~~~~ Abbots Bromley.The Horn Dance has been described as ‘possibly the oldest surviving ceremony in Britain’. It is known that the dance was performed at the Barthelmy Fair in August 1226, however the reindeer antlers that give the dance its name suggest a much earlier origin, possibly a Druidic or Viking rite. A carbon-dated fragment of horn revealed a date of 1065 ± 80 years.           Royal Highland Gathering, Braemar, Grampian. Whilst there have been Gatherings at Braemar since the days of King Malcolm Canmore, nine hundred years ago, today’s Gathering, organised by the Braemar Royal Highland Society, has been around for a mere 188 years. Large crowds gather each year to acclaim their Monarch as Chieftain of the Braemar Gathering. International athletes take part in the "heavy" and "track" events, encouraged on by the customary Scottish Massed Pipe Bands. www.braemargathering.org           Widecombe Fair **** Widecombe-in-the-Moor, Devon. Widecombe village fair probably began as a simple market, but has grown over the years into a local institution, with pony shows, races, competitions, sheep and cattle shows, sideshows, etc. The fair was made famous by the well-known folksong 'Widecombe Fair' and the misadventures of one Uncle Tom Cobley and All. The words for the folk song were first published in 1880 by the vicar of a nearby parish, after he heard them sung by an old countryman: ’Tom Pearse, Tom Pearse, lend me your grey mare, …For I want to go to Widdecombe Fair’.           Clipping the Church, Painswick, Gloucestershire. The people of the pretty Cotswold town "clip" or hug the church. Local children wear flowers in their hair, everyone joins hands to create a chain all around St. Mary's parish church, and they all sing a special clipping hymn on or near St Mathew’s Day (21st). Folklore holds that the churchyard will never have more than 99 yew trees and that should a 100th grow the Devil would pull it out. The latest count of trees showed there to be 103.           World Gurning (Face–Pulling) Championship Egremont, Cumbria. The event has been running as part of the 'Crab Fair & Sports' since 1267. Gurning represents everything that is quirky and British.           Feast of St. Michael (Michaelmas) There are seven Archangels in all, but only the three mentioned in Sacred Scripture are commemorated liturgically; St. Gabriel's Feast is on 24 March, and St. Raphael's Feast is on 24 October (the Guardian Angels are remembered on 2 October. The other archangels, whom we know from the Book of Enoch, are Uriel, Raguel, Sariel, and Jeramiel.) September, though, we honor St. Michael the Archangel, whose very name in Hebrew means, "Who is Like God."           SPACE STATION FLYOVERS     AUG 01st - OCT 09th          Oct 17th - Nov 01st        Nov 13th-Dec 01st        Dec 12th-Dec 25th            ROOLEY MOOR REVISITED      Darwen Tower Revamp      Wirral I New Brighton-Hoylake-West Kirby     Wirral II Thurstaston-Caldy-Parkgate      Wirral III Neston-Leighton-Thornton Hough-Raby      Wirral IV Neston Coalmines      Wirral V Storeton      Wirral VI Brimstage      Wirral VII Barnston-Heswall      Wirral VIII Prenton ----     ~~~~~~   Want to see some really old dials try here˜*˜*˜*˜*˜*----     ----    **Tigers Nest ?? -- mind the windows   ***˜*˜*˜*˜*˜         Feeling safe?? - drivers WATCH this        Is North about to become South .....Magnetic Polar Reversal ??           ¤  ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ to report broken links -- Email HERE ¤ ¤  ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤
