  1. Travelling Folk

    Share Share Post
    Travelling folk visit our house every day. They are doing so for many years. They are poor people. They are selling small things. They have a waggon of their own. They sell and buy donkeys to pull the waggon. They get their food from the people of the parish. They go from place to place every day. They are only one family. There is another family visiting the district also. There is a crownd of children with them. The father cleans chimneys and mends lamps and tankards. They comes particularly the day of a horse fair. They are welcome to this district.
