Ruby Cooper on Butter

I remember, well we lived off across the Green and we had to walk across the Green with our milk jug and collect the milk and Margery, the dairy, the daughter of the farm would dish it out from a churn and then we used to go and watch them making the butter. And skimming the milk.

I remember a churn, you know like a revolving churn.

Milk and butter and I remember them patting up the butter and us taking the butter away and the milk in the jug.
