A história, como Julian V. conta

Do lugar

• Black Ford Watch was laid out by Julian Vance, who marked the low knoll first and set the reed hut to face out of the prevailing weather.

Do povo

• They keep a dry stack of fuel beside the reed hut and share the first meal at the hearth with any traveller who crosses the low knoll. (heard when a people lives here)
• Before winter sets in they check the lashings and stones of the storehouse and sing the names of the first four who came. (heard when a people lives here)
