Irish traveller's wife in Nottingham speaks of 'difficult' caravan lifestyle in first year on road

A mum of a newborn has described her "different" lifestyle since she ditched her landlife to travel with a caravan across the country. Stacey Waldron is part of the 25 families pitched at the Ruddington Lane Recreation Fields in Wilford, just off the A52 Clifton Bridge.

The 22-year-old recently gave birth to her first child and left her home in Ireland to venture into the unknown with her husband, who is a member of the travelling community. Mrs Waldron was in school when she met the man who later became her husband.

They got married when they were 18 - and Mrs Waldron said that her parents were accepting of their relationship. "They did not have a problem with that," she added.
