Romany Life in the 1970s Portfolio

Romany Life in the 1970s “Portfolio”
Includes Book & 2 Great Romany Films
In the early 1970s a documentary called "A Romany Summer" which featured a family of “Yorkshire Romany Travellers” who roamed and lived in the lanes on the outskirts of York. The film features many aspects of a life that has now changed beyond recognition. The main character in the film is Cocker Smith. He and his family begrudgingly allowed the cameras to capture their life on the road as they travel from village to village scraping a living making and selling pegs and dealing in horses. The film was well received back in the 1970s, and today is an historic piece of work recalling rural England, and a bygone way of life.

Everyone chats though they be traveler, A traveler these days dont seem to move 5 miles in a car and that be it... being a gypsy dont mean you need a wagon nor a grai it means your blood runs from the ones that were before you who were gypsy.. your blood! .. And is who YOU still indentify as. I am not a traveler unless I be going somewhere or to teh shop like. But I am a proud Gypsy , though I not be on the roads and lanes I am a proud gypsy from a long bloodline that is well lived and well proven.... Dont call out those that you not know. and know what you are. .. it matters not what others think. Only what is Known to you... Stay lucky and true those that know and watch over you .
