- Travelling people still call to my home. Some "travellers" come frequently
These "travellers" are not poor
Some "travellers" sell small articles.
Others come back after a number of years. People usually take something to help them. These "travellers" are generally welcome. They dont stay for longer that a night in the same district. Some "travellers" sleep in caravans and others sleep in lodging houses. The alms they accept are money, tea, bread, and potatoes etc.
Some "travellers" travel on foot others go in caravans and in cars. They come frequently before Xmas selling small articles. The Local people dont gather round to hear them.
