When I saw your local shepherds hut, I knew that there would be a big finish and it came. haha.<br />I passed through the Green Dragon on the way to Hardraw in June 2011 & I'm trying to remember whether the caravan was still there or not, then again it is a long time ago.<br />The holiday breaks look like fun although some people may be a bit disappointed if there is no en suite !!J_on_tourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05469200077815953611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3212581401252445388.post-24508258025173971682013-02-09T20:52:37.778-06:002013-02-09T20:52:37.778-06:00Ha, I love that Wisconsin shepherd. :)

When we moved there I had no idea. In our village (and many others) they put pilings around the common so gypsys can't pull in caravans and set up house. In some towns they even pour concrete! The pilings can go up and down if there is a legitimate event happening on the common. When we first moved over there was a big legal battle going on about someone who'd fired (maybe killed?) a gypsy who'd set up on his property.
