Hi Lyn,
another of my mother's sayings from my Autograph Book:
"/You may kiss beneath the mistletoe, or kiss beneath a rose,
/
/but the proper place to kiss a girl is just beneath her nose."/

William Carleton was a local Tyrone writer whose work dates from the
early to mid 19th century. When I read his book "Traits and Stories
of the Irish Peasantry" I found phrases I hadn't heard from
childhood. It was reprinted about 20-30 years ago in softback, so
hopefully you may be able to track down a copy somewhere. He wrote
other books as well, but these stories are relatively short and
easily read. There is also a Carleton Society in Tyrone, who are
interested in all things connected with Carleton and run a very
successful summer school each year.
