"The old people used to say that if you desired to die you should eat cabbages in August." (Folklore of Wales, 1909)
The perfect excuse not to eat your greens...

Welsh folklore tells us that August is a great month for marriage and travel:
"August is regarded as a royal and exalted month. It is very favourable for weddings and journeys. There is an old saying in some parts of #Wales that a child born in August will 'rise in the world.'"
