I had a book in the 1970s by Leon Petulengro about healthy eating and wild foods smattered with Romany folklore.

In my youth, in the early sixties, I used to encounter Eva in some of the bars that myself and freinds frequented in Brighton. I recall here being a lovely looker in those days (still not so bad, I hasten to add) and always very friendly. Which bars in the Brighton of those far off days? I sadly can't really remember. Having read Eva's book, I have come to the conclusion that she has got a darn sight better memory than I have.

Is she still in Brighton

Eva is so much like Cher Lloyd another women or Romany heritage.

She's not a gypsy

So what makes you say that?

@@sibellakingston52 0:55 , she says " You never knew where you were going to wake up ! " The inference is they travelled at night , not so Gypsies wouldn't take an unlighted horse drawn caravan out on the road at night . Far too dangerous . She also doesn't use Romany language or have the accent .

[@sibellakingston52]

@@johnniethepom7545 LOL! The inference is NOT that they travelled at night at all. How ridiculous. She used a figure of speech. And we don't use the jib with gorjas - and considering we are a diaspora all over the world, we usually have the accent of wherever we live. Stop with your ignorance.
