Welcome

Welcome - I'm Robert Dawson, specialising in Gypsy and Romany books, Gypsy postcards and educational materials for Britain's Traditional Travelling people. I've been involved with Travellers (especially Romani Gypsies and Scottish Nawken Travellers) for over half a century.

On this site you will find many unique Gypsy books, cards, educational material and a lot more. I'm a writer and member of various Romany and Traveller societies and some years ago was honoured at a Pride Not Prejudice conference with a lifetime achievement award. I first became involved in the 1950s.

Amateur Bee Champion

In recent years, I've become fascinated with solitary bees and bumble bees. Most people think of bees as just honey bees and bumble bees, but solitary bees - and there are about 240 different species in the UK - are every bit as interesting. Read about Solitary Bees and Bumble Bees
