Gipsies:- The gipsies come to our home about once a year. the go around telling fortunes. Some of them tell them by the lines in the hand others by cards. They sell hand made lace, hand made flowers little gipsy tables, mats and table cloth and some sell pieces of cotton.
Beggars:- There is only one beggar which calls to our home. Her name is Bibby Hatter. She asks for food or money to buy clothes. Sometimes she asks for tea.
