  1. Travelling Folk

    Share Share Post
    There are not any travelling folk in our district but there is one I know and her name is Ann Sheridan.
    She goes travelling from place to place and sleeps a night here and there and she gets her food in they houses that she calls into.
    She has been in this part of the country about thirty years and she is over seventy and is getting the pension.
    She smokes a clay pipe.
    She is always welcomed at every house she goes to.
