In Italy, Lenticchie (Lentils) and Cotechino are traditionally eaten on New Year's Day - strictly after midnight, even if you're full from dinner. Their coin-like shape is believed to bring prosperity in the new year. 👛 #FolkloreThursday@FolkloreThurs

The Cailleach, aka Beira, is the Queen of Winter in Scottish folklore. She's said to have built the Scottish mountains, with Ben Nevis as her throne. Though her reign of fear was undisputed in Winter, in Spring her subjects would rebel against! @FolkloreThurs#folklorethursday
RIP to @DolORiordan, my sweet cousin. My thoughts are with your children and other family members at this time. The world has lost a great talent and soul but heaven gained a character.
Safe to say I am not having my laptop in my room ever again when I’m gnasleep. Got woken up at 6.30 this morning by my laptop turning itself on(baring in mind that the lid was down and it wasn’t even signed in) and playing a documentary on the murders of Mary Bell.was so scared.
