- Travelling Folk:-
Travelling Folk go arround in bands and in two's and threes. As a way of travelling some of them have cars and the rich ones have caravans. This is the structure of the caravans. It is a great big structure with a door at the end. They have a stove in the vans also for to heat themselves. When the lights are shining in the night the designs look beautiful. Some of the travellers sleep in tents which they make themselves and about two persons could fit in them. It is a wonder that they do not catch a bad cold in the wet weather. They stay in one place for about a week.
