Jenny and Billy: Home is where the caravan is.
A friendship kindled over the traditional camp fires of the annual Appleby Horse Fair. Billy took over the running of the Gypsy fair when his father died in 1999, and being the public face of the event that pulls in tens of thousands of visitors from around the world every year, has not been without its pressures. He heeded his father's warning - that if the fair was badly managed the gypsies would lose it - and attitudes to the fair have changed over the past sixteen years, such that now it's a major tourist attraction for the Eden Valley. This success has been in large part due to Billy's warm personality, and the links he's forged with the town, police and individuals from the local community like Jenny.
