RED NOSES AND COLD TOES!

A big warm hello from the Circus caravan... I am sitting here at the moment with my toes on the heater, Henry is curled up on the sofa opposite and Fred is strumming away on his guitar in the tent... it's great to be back here again with our first shows of the year - even if it IS a bit chilly!
The Circus rolled up here at Brooklands Park, Worthing on Thursday morning. Thanks to the MANY helpers who all turned up to help bash in stakes and heave the big top up - you were all truly amazing!

Friday was our first day of shows - after having to get up and out of the caravan to start the day with a heavy frost on the ground, the sun soon came out and brought with it a MEGA audience! We have a guest performer with us for the first few days - the incredible Adriano Fettucini, who is a true 'Gentleman' juggler with umbrellas, hats, cigar boxes and bottles doing the impossible!
Today started  early again, and by 11am I was busy making fresh popcorn, ChiChi was rehearsing with 8 hoops (all at the same time), Fred was sprucing up the tent and exercising Henry and Sam was cracking the whip (literally) backstage!... never a dull moment!
The shows went well again with people coming from far and wide. Chi Chi's friends turned up and Runa got her sleeves rolled up helping out with handing out leaflets and selling popcorn... Thanks Runa!!
We're all settling down now - about to relax and watch a film.
Toodly pip for now
Be back soon
