Running away to the Circus!

There's a very special circus, Gifford Circus, trooping around England in the Spring and Summer months and we finally got to see what all the fuss and buzz was about when we ventured to Frampton-on-Severn one August night. 

The style was reminiscent of a Victorian music hall with slap-stick comedy, drama and skilful performers. The live music, audience participation and pace had us all enthralled!  

Of course the costumes were fab! I want to run away to the circus...

Greeting for Christmastide - old plum!

While you are writing, making (!?), opening or displaying your Christmas cards have a look at these postcard christmas cards from the early 1900s. 

Ringing in the New Year! Religious images...

I think this angel is a bit scary!

Is that a scythe hanging behind the mirror? 

'Youtube' were not the first to adore tiny cats! Love the pun, 'feline'!

This is my message to you all!

So, I'm going to echo Elsie and say that I wish you all 'luck and pleasure this Christmas. Mind what you get up to.' Love Alli xx
