On Easter Friday we were blessed by the arrival of the Travelling People to a local park , only 50 vans which was a shame , how we wished there were more .
Good fortune shone down upon them when they found the height restrictor steel gate had been vandalised and left open so with the need to rest their weary souls they drove across the the cricket pitches and set up camp .
The wicked boys in blue served an order to depart upon our ethnic friends from across the water but deep joy , we were blessed for another four days . After their departure someone must have visited the site and dumped a load of Calor Gas cylinders.... mattresses , beds , sofas, chairs , cardboard boxes , a load of flat screen TV sets , strangely just the outer casings without any electronics inside them , well they'll never work if they were sold will they?
And then , thank Heaven our friends had left because , all along the stream that runs through the park , a huge gang of vandals must have spent four days defecating into the stream and leaving reams of soiled toilet paper across the site and in the stream itself.
An estimate of the cost of cleaning up to local taxpayers is a mere £30,000 .... hopefully they will call again and bless us with their travelling culture & quaint way of life . Hhnmmm reminds me ...must go and pay this month's Council Tax ....Birmingham is a bit short this month.
Perhaps they are wending their merry way to your neck of the woods , perhaps you could clear some land for them . Now then ...must go and count the wheels on the car .
