These made the child in me, who is still in love with the Romani wagon in Bristol City Museum (below), very happy.
I've resolved not fret over how, when I told them that I had asked my cousin to make me a proper Romani wagon bed with curtains in my future forever home, a second cousin AND my neighbour (and erstwhile friend) both claimed that I would be too old and arthritic to change the sheets.
Instead, I shall reflect on that lovely etching 'The Plough' by Robin Tanner, forbearing to mention that for years I puzzled over why it was so titled when everyone can see it's a picture of a vardo ...
A vardo! Never heard of it (here in the USA), but your photo of the Bristol Museum caravan is exquisite, as is the Robin Tanner etching.
ReplyDeleteI've got a few of Tanner's etchings, but not that one.
