  1. Travelling Folk

    Share Share Post
    Travellers visit my house all the time. The travellers that visit my house most frequently are the O'Briens. They come in families. They repair umbrellas and tins for people. They also sell things such as gallons, saucepans and laces. They beg for alms, such as bread, flour, tea, sugar and milk. They have caravans and they stay along the side of the road. Long ago when travellers visited my district they used stay for a night. They would tell stories and play music. They would go home in the morning.
