THE SHOW MUST GO ON!

What a LOVELY time we're having here at Shipton-under-Wychwood the Cotswolds... but our journey here was not free of drama! Wednesday morning we were all set to go and as we were pulling the caravan out of  storage we slightly misjudged and one of the trimmings wrapped itself around the gatepost. All I heard was 'oh nooooo!' from Chi Chi and dashed round the back to find half the back of the caravan ripped off!!!
After the initial panic...we quickly got a plan together and Chi Chi and I dashed off to buy a tent as Fred off loaded everything we needed from the caravan into the van.
Our lovely poor circus caravan was put back in storage - ready to be sorted when we get back home. In the meantime we are now all safely under canvas and the school here have been amazing - providing us with lights, 24hour wash rooms, copious amounts of tea and even a fridge!!! Thank you to everyone especially Paul!
The show must go on and as I write Fred and Chi Chi are in the big top working with the first group of children who are going to perform tonight. Tomorrow it's the school fete so another group of children will arrive in the morning and there's another show tomorrow evening. The sun is out, Henry is chillin' and I'm happily tapping away from the new circus headquarters.
Hopefully my next post won't be as dramatic.
Toodly pip for now
