[QUOTE="primmiemoo, post: 7656421, member: 83588"] Digging out moors = digging out roots of unwelcome plants. Stroil has strong roots, from what I remember older generations saying. Moors of rushes were easier to get out. Would it have the same origin as moorings for ships and boats? Drengway = narrow gap in a hedge that takes a ditch from a road into the farm's watercourses. Always kept carefully steeped across to maintain a stockproof barrier. Steep = create a stockproof barrier from the trees and shrubs on the top half of a hedge. Steeping is similar to hedgelaying, but carried out at altitude. Deshalls = creeping thistle. Milky deshalls are dandelions. I wonder how much full on swearing was edited out in all the "desh them all!" -ing at the creeping thistles. Lades to keep loads of bales on trailers. Also to note the lack of necessary support for the food on a generously filled plate: "You need lades on 'n, chiel!" Tallet = top storey of a shippon or a stable where fodder, wool, etc, are stored. Loved by Owls, [s]feral[/s] free range poultry, and small, semi-feral children. [/QUOTE]
