Good Morning
I think a gypsy wagon would have been fun to own. At least he did have somewhere for shelter. There are so many now that sleep under bridges or even on the sidewalks. I feel so sorry for them.

Re: Taps
I think the gypsies probably made the hoops from willow boughs. They were quite good at improvising. As I have mentioned before there was a large encampment of them of when I was a boy. Some were moved into council houses and not many can tell the difference any longer.

I've always been fascinated by the Gypsy round-top wagons.

Amazing the indignities people have to adjust to in order to
live one day at a time. I hope the poor guy with his tin huts went on to enjoy the comforts of a cozy cottage.

Good morning
What a shame. A gypsy wagon sounds so much more adventurous then two tin huts.
