I was wondering how many generations grew up in that van. Because it’s definitely not new

Not seen him for well over 25 years now and his mum used to run coursing greyhounds and once he took a would be waterloo plate winner out to slips  and got some stick over his dreadlocks from the slipper..

Wagons you see today at horse fairs  all painted up are not lived in they just show peaces,I remember living in on the Rd when I was a kid and they was 8 kids ,older kids slept in a cottage tent while younger ones was in the wagon sleeping under the main bed  make no mistake life was hard but good times made up for it .

I was watching some WW1 footage on telly that had been given colour, it was amazing how it suddenly made it real and you could relate more to the men and stop seeing them like black n white beings from another planet.

Great thread
