drolnhoj   15 #18 Posted December 16, 2020 I always remember the expression gowl in yer eyes referring to the stuff in the corner of your eye when you woke. My mum and grandma used the term when we lived in Wath 50-60 years ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
