For the gentle who was looking for information about Swithin's Cream, I
thought you might be interested in information about St. Swithin.
 
July 2nd
St. Swithin's Feast Day (862) Patron Saint of and Invoked against Rain. 
Bishop of Winchester, he was renowned for good deeds.  His most popular
miracle was to restore a peasant woman's basket of broken eggs to whole. 

(ed. note - perhaps this connection to eggs is where the cream gets it's
name.)

July 15th
St. Swithin's Day (971) Patron Saint of and Invoked against Rain. 
English Bishop, he loved the rain and requested to be buried in the
churchyard where it would fall on his grave.  After his death in 862, he
was canonized in 971, and in honor of this his relics were to be moved to
be enshrined inside the Cathedral at Winchester.  Rain delayed transition
of his relics to a new site, so now tradition has it that if it rains on
this day, it will rain for 40 more days.  (Feast Day July 2)
