Gifford's Circus

Last Saturday I took the family to the Circus - sort of a big thank you for all the times they've left me be to get ready for We Make.  

Words can't describe how magical the whole experience was.  The circus was set up in a small Oxfordshire village - not quite on the Green, but almost!  The Big Top looked splendid and the children looked completely mesmeriszed.  I deliberately had NOT told them about the treat, and it was a wonderful surprise.  All the performers were dressed in wonderful costumes, the inside of the tent was decorated beautifully and there was live music throughout the entire show.  We ate sticky strawberry candyfloss - though the Hungarian Goulash smelt divine too (we'd already picnic'd sadly), and tried very hard to refrain from buying a stick from Tweedy for 50p.  He had a surprising number of customers though!!

I'll leave you with this photo - but more can be found over on Flickr as usual!

We'll certainly be going next year - and if you get the chance to visit Gifford's Circus - do!  They are amazing.
