Greetings, I found a few minutes to catch up on some digests and came across the egg shell discussion. I thought I'd contribute, though I think the witches using egg shells for boats makes more sense than the version I was taught. We were always told to make a hole in the bottom of the shell to stop witches being able to see through it! I'm not sure whether this originated from my Mum's side of the family (she is from Suffolk) or my Dad's (he was born in Norfolk and then moved to Cambridgeshire). Being the youngest in the family, this was just accepted by the time I was old enough to ask. Ah, the things one remembers when prompted :-)
