All those things you have mentioned I have heard about from Ken's family. The only thing I baulked at was when he suggested having a Gypsy holiday (they do advertise them) with me doing the 'mucking out' every day.
I take it you are in the UK,I have heard that the weather is getting a little better over there. We have had torrential storms here in Oz,no electricty from last night to ths morning so no net!
Got to admit,give me good old English weather any day.
Never forget your Romany heritage,it is something to be proud of.
Take care.

Hi, I am in the U.K. where the weather is pretty good. I don't know about a gypsy holiday, the old Vardo might be cosy, but its pretty cramped, I think I'll stick with the house! We do have (another) gypsy heritage revival here, one of several over the last twenty years or so, this one will fizzle out like all the rest.
The actual truth is that there is no "heritage", just a lot of useless lumber that simply has no place today because we live in a different World altogether. It's a "quick fix" World today, witness the almost countless tarot etc, postings on this board, not one for the traditional English method!
I actually joined this forum because I had to to contact the seller of the allergy testing device for sale, and could not do that without registering, I found it quite interesting , so I have stayed on, at least for a little while!
I also have a room full of Physio equipment etc. to dispose of and I will be advertising some of this in the marketplace here, so this board might come in handy, at least for that.
Anyway, we have pretty good weather here, at least in the South, but I think the Scots are suffering a bit with the weather. I am out and about pretty much every day, if anything I have too much work, but I must say I enjoy a bit of wild weather, it speaks to the Soul.
Regards

Hi, I posted this to you after I sent the last reply, and this is because I was thinking about the useless lumber which I suppose you could call "heritage", and I think this a perfect example: I live in the South East of the U.K. So I will use Canterbury as an example here, stick a pin in the south east map of Kent in the centre of Canterbury, and you will find that the villages around, many of which are now towns in their own right, since all the boundaries here are blurred by incessant development, are all three miles away.
This measurement is a league (three miles), so on the road you knew that each village passed by was three miles, this spacing of a league around major cities and Towns is repeated all over the U.K. but not Scotland or Wales.
How's that for useless knowledge? I don't suppose one in thousand still knows this item of lumber! We all have Satnavs now.
Regards
There's nothing like comfort these days,Moscarella! Myself included! My pleasure in life now is to put my feet up and relax.
I've done my share of hard work over 40 years,let the young ones take over now.
What line of work are you in? Is it to do with Physiotherapy?
Good career.
Talking about a throw away society! My mother and grandmother would save half a sandwich if they couldn't eat it in the old days. I remember my mum telling me off if I threw away half a loaf because it was slightly stale, I was told I could have made 'bread pudding' out of it!
My brother lives in Scoland,was wondering how he was coping with the snow up there,he is a heating engineer and travels round all the farms in the wilds.
We have the opposite here,red hot weather,too hot for comfort.

That is something I didn't know! You've certainly studied the landscapes up.
Unfortunately,I don't drive. Often wished I did but I get around fine using cabs. At least I was a good navigator,so hubby said.
Canterbury is one place I have never been to,always wantd to go but never got around to it. We used to go caravanning all over the south of Britain years ago (good life) but never managed to make it there.
