  1. Travelling Folk

    Share Share Post
    "Travellers" usually come to my house on Saturday. These same "travellers" are calling to my house for years, they are not very poor, the best known of them are the Rooney's and Teelans.They carry baskets with small srticles in them, some people buy from them, some of them are not very welcome because they torment you to buy things you do not want.
    The alms they accept is food, such as Tea, Sugar, Bread, etc. They travel in carts, caravans, and some of them walk.
