Judith Walker on Butter

Mum didn’t make cheese but I do remember she had a butter churn and we used to have to turn it, it was an old wooden thing.

You turned and turned and turned and then she would pat the butter and make patterns on it and I presume they would have given the milk to the cats, you know, what was left over, but yes I do remember her making butter you know, churning.

Yes, we used to do that out in the old backhouse (laughs) because of the stone floors and then we could keep them clean you see.
