Welcome to The Primitive Cornish Hovel. A place where I will share my love of prim, vintage, family history, many interests & everyday life. I hope to show you a glimpse of a bygone age through the history of my family & the many 'treasures' I hold dear. Mixed in with this will be snippets of life today. Do drop in again for a visit to see what is happening at 'The Hovel'. Comments are welcomed.

On the Fourth Day of Christmas....

********************
"On the fourth day of Christmas,
my true love sent to me
Four calling birds,
Three French hens,
Two turtle doves,
And a partridge in a pear tree."
********************

Or do 4 Calling Birds refer to the Four Gospels and/
or the Four Evangelists?

I send you a big Texas Howdy and Halloo and a bushel of pure Texas sunshine!
