    Travelling Folk
    There are two kind of Travelling Folk, the gipsies and poor people. The gipsies of long ago went nowadays they go around in Caravans.
    It happened in Blennenville at Mr Williams about 40 years ago, that 2 gipsies called at Mrs Williams house to see if the kettle was boiling, and if it was, they would have tea at the house. The kettle happened to be boiling, and they asked to have their breakfast at the house and they were left.
