Regency Traditions for the New Year
We always look forward to the beginning of a new year, and we celebrate with traditions to start that year off well. During the Regency, one such tradition was “creaming the well.” Ladies hoped to be the first to draw water from a well in the new year, and believed it would bring them luck in marriage. All the better if they were able to get the object of their affection to drink that water before the end of New Year’s Day!
