  1. Travelling Folk

    Share Share Post
    Travelling people are very plentiful in this country now. Long ago there were very few travellers in Ireland. About thirty of forty years ago, there was a traveller who was called "Blue Bread". This man had alot of money and no one knew about it for a long time. He called into the houses of the district very often, and he told the people that he was very poor. The people always gave him a penny or two. He told the people all the news that he herd in other houses.
