Travel...

Many people dream to travel to get away from the concrete prisons of their neighbourhood. This is what many people dream of doing every night. When you have had a bad day from many people myself inclding nothing helps more than watching a documentary about the Savannah or trekking through the Amazon rainforest. If you look around there are many beautiful places where you live where you know it or not. One of may favourite places in London is walking along South Bank outside the National Theatre. It was a summer night after seeing the most amazing play I have even seen 'War Horse' if you have not seen it GO SEE IT!! Yet another play is the skate park along south bank the colour of the graffiti is what London is all about. London may seem as a scary place but on a summer nights walking along the thames I can think no better place in the world.


In the summer there can be markets or entertainers it very is awesome!


Some people do really amazing tricks it is nice just to soak up the atmosphere.

If you ever have a chance to go to London check this place out. The river you can see so many famous landmarks along one strech or it including the Globe Theatre (shakespeares Globe) and The London Eye.

A True English Love Story...

My ancestors are Romany Gypsies. My people may have preconceived ideas about gypsies but many of them are based on prejudice and ignorance. My ancestor was a young English woman who fell in love with a traveller. Her family disowned her and she never saw them again. Marrying a non-gypsy would have been frowned upon in the gypsy community so it was a miracle they didn’t disown their son. She travelled around with her new husband with the fair. They worked on the coconut shy, happy and in love.  She never spoke to her parents after she left. The couple had a child she was born in one of the beautiful ornate caravans. There are no pictures of the family as gypsies did not have photographs nor had many possessions. I see that ancestor ,from so many generations, a true model. She ran away with the man she loved even though it meant losing the love and respect of her family.  This is a true love story what makes it even more beautiful is that it is real. Love really did conquer all. Whenever I remember the story it is all most as if I am reading it from a Nicolas Sparks novel. It is a very rare story and unique story and one that I will always treasure.

The caravan probably would have looked a lot like this...
