The last time I wrote we were in the idyllic countryside of West Oxfordshire, fanning ourelves and trying to find shade. The shows at Shipton-under-Wychwood were FABULOUS!!!! Everyone was SO lovely to us and we had a really wonderful time. Saturday, after the afternoon show we packed up and popped home for a night so we could get ourselves ready for Tunbridge Wells (or Bumbridge Smells) as we so fondly renamed it!
On the Sunday we were again met with bright smiley faces and Debbie, the organiser, met us with a whole big box full of Jaffa Cakes!!!! It was also a welcome sight to see many helpers arrive - amongst them, Bob - a 6ft 12 (or so it seemed) muscle bound helper who had worked on the festival circuit for 20 years... we just showed him where to find the sledge hammers!
Unfortunately I had to toddle back off home to Mrs Fred headquarters to finish some projects off and then I rejoined the Circus crew at the take-down on Wednesday evening. Again, it was packed tents and a very happy smiley PTA...(which could have just been down to the huge jugs of Pimms they were brandishing about).
Anyway... here are some photos from backstage that I took - in one of those quiet moments before the frivolities began...
Next stop... SUNNY Wales!... perhaps we'd better take the wellies!
Toodly pip for now
