Happy New Year's Eve to our fledgling following, with some random #onion stories - not sure about the kids being hit with them, perhaps the smell of raw onions would be enough to wake them? ;) Loving the @bsky.app vibes and community!
Onions are an ancient Greek symbol of fertility, and those seeking fertility should hang onions at their door on New Years' Eve to bring fertility into their lives. Conversely, parents wake their children in the New Year by hitting them in the head with onions. #FairytaleTuesday

Love a bit of #wassailing #folklore
In some of the cider-making parts of England, wassailing involves going to apple groves and wassailing the trees, then giving the tree spirits a toast: the purpose of this gift is to scare away malignant spirits and encourage good growth for next year. #FolkyFriday

What a great initiative!
This week, Redcar & Cleveland College's T-Level Mechanical Engineering students have supported us by helping restore our historic mining machinery. This ongoing partnership contributes to their qualifications and helps connect younger people with our area's industrial heritage.
