  1. Travelling Folk

    Share Share Post
    The travelling folk that come to our house are usually tinkers and gipsies. They live in bands and they travel from house to house in these bands. They come every year. They are not to poor. They make buckets out of tin and they sell them to the farmers. These tinkers and gipsies sleep sleep in their bands by the side of the road.
