They would often bring the animals into the huts to help keep warm and finding dry firewood was always a problem if it rained for days and days, as it often did and still does in Britain!<br />They would fear winter for all the hardships that it would bring. Halloween is based around a very old dark ages festival called Samhain. Fires would be lit and rites enacted to protect them from the coming dakness of winter... not a fun time to live at all! Especially when some great big Saxons raiders come into the village..Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03889292831860354071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7367956910249918402.post-14747778115870591392012-10-30T10:08:06.986-05:002012-10-30T10:08:06.986-05:00Raining here as well, but it's Seattle :)Your ...Raining here as well, but it's Seattle :)Your comment regarding the issue of soggy houses and wet dogs made me think about something you said in the interview. I read somehwere that the Dark Ages were called such because houses built in this period didn't have windows. Therefore, it was dark. Have you heard of this in your research?Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15533169156074771049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7367956910249918402.post-37929849735751899482012-10-30T06:23:28.441-05:002012-10-30T06:23:28.441-05:00Thanks so much Flora for a great interview.
