  1. Travelling Folk

    Share Share Post
    Travelling folk visit my home nearly every week of the year. They are the same travelling folk which visited at my father's home years ago. Some of these travelling folk are poor whilst others are not. The(y) sell tin cans and other articles.
    Some bands of travelling folk sleep in their carts along the roadside whilst other bands sleep in lodgings houses in this town.
    They do not go singly but go in families. Nearly all the travelling folk I know go around in carts or caravans.
