Our parish magazine when I was growing up, used to contain a column of local history and reminiscences that was written entirely in devon dialect, which is excellent for vocabulary.
I don't know if the column is still going ( I have a feeling the author may have died by now) but I've often thought that it would be rather nice if these were collected on the web somewhere for posterity. Not by me though, retyping thousands of words of dialect strikes me as not a fun task...
