I am gorgio (is that how you write it?!) who met the Christian Gypsies from Leatherhead at an event in Ewell a couple of years back. I went to their church that Sunday. Amazing experience - kind of different from my own church in style, but people were so kind and made me feel so very welcome. It was lovely. God bless you folks!
