It...No, nor I am Sandra, in fact I rather like it!<br /><br />It reminds me of yet another 'story' some years ago when Sir, me and errrm, I think we just had Lucy then (our beloved collie now at rest). I can't quite remember where it was but for sure it was near where you are at the moment.<br /><br />As we were walking away from the boat some people were walking along the towpath. Lucy had her red spotted scarf on. After passing us I overheard one of them say "Oh they must be new age travellers".. Another replied "More like old age travellers".. I don't know how I didn't fall into the cut laughing!!Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07911045617767626806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3518794157664726047.post-11951335895391150992014-02-02T20:16:10.150+00:002014-02-02T20:16:10.150+00:00Hi Sue!

I like to think that most often when people are affronted or appear stand-offish, it's just a lack of understanding - and may even be envy! They'd probably give their right arm for the freedom we have in our 'water gypsy' lives (I'm not in the least offended by that term) ;-)Barry and Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09414795991385028096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3518794157664726047.post-32627452935573641112014-02-02T20:09:22.578+00:002014-02-02T20:09:22.578+00:00Yes agree with you when talking to land living peo...Yes agree with you when talking to land living people. It was amazing on our cruise on Oriana recently how many people were so interested in our way of living asking so many questions at times it was hard to get away for some peace! Having said that there were a few who thought us a water gypsies! <br /><br />I remember one cruise a while ago we had met a couple for breakfast when we all sit at the next available table instead of a set table of 6 or 8 that is allocated in the evenings.<br /><br />She wasn't too keen on us!<br /><br />Rarely do we see the same people on these big boats, but there she was approaching the table at breakfast time and very loudly she said to her other half "I am not sitting next to those two!"... Bloomin' snob! :DSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07911045617767626806noreply@blogger.com
