On the road to the Appleby Horse Fair

Modern and more traditional caravans (See extras) have been parked up by the side of the road to Alston for a number of days. The Romany families, Gypsies and travellers have been making their slow progress to the Appleby Horse Fair ...

Today, only one caravan remained ...

I stopped and chatted to Mr. Smith, an old Romany gentleman. He hadn’t been feeling very well but, although he’d missed the start of the Fair, he was determined that he would travel on ...

His 2 canine companions were like ‘chalk and cheese’: Sasha (See extras) seemed full of energy, while Duke was lethargic and sought shade under the caravan ...

Safe travels to them all ...


Hope your week is going well ...
