  1. Travelling Folk

    Share Share Post
    Travelling folk call at my home. They have been calling for years. These folk are not so poor as they seem. They sell small articles which they buy from shops. We buy some of the things from them but not much. These folk are not very welcome as they are always begging. They stay for about three nights in the same place. Some of these sleep in caravans, some in tents and others under carts. In the caravans they have food and clothes. A lot of these travel on foot. They are often found in this town.
