EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of a Gypsy woman preparing a hearty breakfast in the open air of an encampment in Charlwood, Surrey, in the year 1964. The scene is set with a red and white checkered tablecloth spread over a wooden table, upon which rests a loaf of fresh white bread and a plate of uncooked bacon. The woman, dressed in traditional Gypsy attire, dons a red headscarf and a long, flowing skirt as she leans over the table, stirring a steaming pot of tea on a small stove. A tea bag dangles from a string into the pot, while two white mugs and a bag of Lyle's Golden Syrup sit nearby, ready to be used for sweetening the tea. The Gypsy encampment, nestled amongst the rolling hills and verdant greenery of Surrey, is a testament to the rich history and nomadic lifestyle of this community. The image transports us back to the 1960s, a time of simple pleasures and the warmth of a home-cooked meal shared with loved ones. The Gypsy woman's focused expression and the smoky aroma of the tea wafting through the air add to the sense of tranquility and contentment. This photograph, with its authentic and candid portrayal of daily life, offers a unique glimpse into the past and the traditions of the Gypsy community. It is a poignant reminder of the importance of cherishing the simple moments of life and the connections we make with those around us.
