Used to talk to a lot of travelling folk that passed through our village when i was a kid. Used to get a belt off me dad if he knew i had been talking to them.........but i used to go up the lane to where they were camped and spend hours with them. Proper bow-tops most were travelling in.........lovely childhood memories.

One thing one very old man once told us..........and i have always remembered it from nights around the camp fire as a kid was the mystery of the Hare. He was convinced that they were witches that transformed themselves to lure men away to there doom. And he also pointed out that if you look closely at the surface of the full moon you can clearly make out the shape of the Hare on the lunar surface......you can as well........but you need someone to point it out to you...Happy Day's

I once had my fortune told in the middle of a factory I was running in Lincolnshire.

She was a middle aged Gypsy lady called Maria, who was working for me at the time.

She told me many things that would happen to me over a period of time....

Most of which have come true ;) ...........some of which are progress now :yes: ....some things never to be repeated.. :o

She was a kind hearted sole, I really liked her, so did a large percentage of the male work force :D

you are probably correct should not put any names up on a forum. The family i was talking about were a travelling family they were stealing jcb of local workmens sites then going up to a auto bank and digging it out the wall lol then stealing it . They got a few banks and the poliece couldnt convict them of it for years then they got all 7 of them red handed and they are now behind bars
