  1. Travelling Folk

    Share Share Post
    Sometimes travellers call to our house and ask for food - for bread and tea. They are very thankful for it.
    A traveller comes to our house at certain times of the year and asks for a stop. We let him sleep in the stable on a bed of hay. In the morning he gets about eight o'clock, and we give him his breakfast. When he has his breakfast eaten he goes off again.
    We call him the "Flowerman" because he sells flowers.
