  1. Travelling Folk

    Share Share Post
    The "travelling" people still call to our home. They will sell small articles such as laces, pins, brooches, camphor and many other things besides.
    Most of them have caravans and more of them make tents and remain two or three nights at the same place. The caravans are drawn by one or two horses.
    The travelling folk usually have a lot of horses or donkeys with them.
    The alms they accept is bread, tea, money, milk and sugar.
