    There are travelling folk to be found all over the whole world.
    There is a lot of them in the back lanes of Athlone and other towns. Some of those are very poor andhave nothing to live on only the alms of the people and more of them are very rich and go around in caravans.

They also make saucpans and cans and sell rugs and mats and some of them sell delph.
