    Traveller family, Boot Fair, Tunbridge Wells, Kent by: susannaluna Views[167] Seller of vases, Mabledon Farm, Southborough, Kent by: susannaluna Views[223] Girl in her car, Mabledon Farm, Southborough, Kent by: susannaluna Views[249] Every week end the boot fairs people wake up at the sunrise and occupys a field, a farm or a parking lot.

These events bring together the Kentish middle class with the local traveller community, one of the biggest of the whole UK. The items on sale are not evaluated on trade base but on the tacit exchange that what is useless for someone may be valuable to someone else. In an economic system that tends to overproduce and encourage the replacement instead of recycling, these makeshift giveaways look like a local sustainable model. by: susannaluna Views[281] Traveller kids in their mother's truck, Hop Farm, Paddock Wood, Kent by: susannaluna Views[219]
