  1. Travelling Folk

    Share Share Post
    Travelling folk are generally to be seen at markets and fairs. Some of those people are very poor and some of them are rich.
    They make cans, sauce-pans. They also make artificial flowers with coloured paper and candle greace. They carry those round in baskets and carts. They sell delph, pictures, shoe laces, hair pens and many other useful articles.
    Those also camp up near a wood where they have plenty of wood.
