... Some gypsies (perhaps I should say "travelers", but I like the word gypsy) have taken up camp on the grassy area opposite the office. This is private land and they should not be there, and apparently they come every year and it takes about 2 weeks to get the eviction order through.
Now when I say the word "Gypsy" no doubt you think of brightly painted caravans, horses and bearded men. Our traveling friends are nothing like this at all, a much better class of gypsy - perhaps even middle class gypsies.
They have huge caravans, some with French windows, they have many cars, including a Shogun, a new VW Golf and a Yaris, they are well dressed and clean looking, and this afternoon they were even playing golf on the grass!
I think they scared some of the people on the picket line today though (all 3 of them) as the line was focused away from the grassy area this time...
Talking about evictions I should be off to watch Big Brother, and hope that the public have some sense and that Michelle is on her way out!
