Hoovie - Chimney Sweeps History!

Yesterday I had my chimney swept and he was a talker.

He was telling me about the history of the chimney sweeps and how they would leave a half pence when they were finished for luck.

Also, that they would attend weddings "for luck".

It was all interesting!

Have you ever told us all that here?
