BARGAIN HUNT, BAUBLES AND WHITE BEARDS!!

A day at the races!
Me and Mr Fred
It's been a busy season here at Circus headquarters. Normally the Circus tent is packed away for the winter but this year we gave it a special treat and went to the races!!! Fontwell is just down the road and a couple of days before Christmas Chi Chi and I went to put up the tent in preparation for the Fontwell family Race day on Boxing Day. The weather was a bit blustery but luckily we had plenty of helpers to help keep the tent from being whisked off while we battened down the hatches! Boxing Day was great and Fred and I opened up the tent for the day to run workshops... there were children spinning plates and Mum's and Dad's brushing up on their juggling skills all day!
December kicked off with our filming the Bargain Hunt auction... it was one of our most exciting days ever... watch this space and we'll let you know when to tune in to see whether we we won a fortune... or not!


The absolute highlight of December has been playing Santa and his naughty Elf (Chi Chi of course!). Fred and Chi Chi played the part at themed restaurant evenings where Fred had all the women queuing up to sit on his lap (HILARIOUS!!!!!) and then they did some great children's Christmas parties for the forces. Fred and Chi Chi absolutely LOVED it and everyone commented what a great Santa he made... never thought I'd be Santa's Mrs!!!
The bookings are still coming in which should keep them out of mischief over the winter.
That just leaves me to say Have an absolutely splendiferous Christmastime and a wonderfully warm and happy new year.
A HUGE thank you to everyone who has booked us or come along to see us this year - it really has been our best and happiest season ever.
Hoping to see you soon
Toodly pip for now
Mrs Fred x
