4/4. Richard Rai O'Neill reflects on the Romany philosophy of freedom, both the ideal, and the reality.
Richard's grandmother taught him that a Romany life was about Freedom in order to enjoy Health and Love. Richard explores a more pragmatic aspect to Romany philosophy, which is if you're having a tough time financially, it's time to move on to a different place, as a new place brings new luck.
