In my article on the campsite as Pioneer Little Europe, I mentioned in some way emulating the lifestyle of Irish gypsies. These Pikeys also cropped up in Hilaire Belloc's article 'On Inns' in a rather romantic light and I do not wish the readers of this blog to think I have any time for these ne'er-do-wells. I do, however, believe there are lessons to be learned from their lifestyle, both for good and ill, and these are what I wish to explore here.
