  1. Travelling Folk

    Share Share Post
    Travelling folk are to be seen in every district in Ireland. A lot of them buy and sell horses, and they go from place to place selling and buying them.
    They are seen mostly on fair days or a few days before the fair. When they have sold a lot of things in one district they go to another district and stay there for a few days selling and buying.
    Some of them travel in cars and others of them travel in caravans. Some of them are poor and more of them are rich.
