gypsy curse

I think wiccadoll is mistaking true gypsies for itinerant travellers.True gypsies never settle down.And they often stay in the same place for weeks, even months, at a time.And they work! They are not "scroungers! or Con Men that the travellers are! They used to work harvesting Hops every year. and worked on farms at harvest time. True gypsies are very different from travellers.I got to know a family of gypsies who had winter quarters near where I lived. They were lovely,friendly people.
