Now who could resist a Circus.

The Big Top came to down town Watsonia. Jo and I booked the best seats in the house , no wooden benches for our kids. No way. Auntie Kath uncle George Cousins Paul and Damien Luke and Matthew had the best seats money could buy. We paid $5 each per ticket. O.K we love a bargain also.

The show was late starting, our boys were getting restless----nothing was happening in the big top. Then..... On with the show------ The Music started The ring Master took centre Ring... Laddies en Jen til men he yelled with a cough.. I do believe this ring master had had a few too many ales.

Enter the remaining "Clown Crew" Plus a very small Jack Russell dog. To our horror this little dog was the only sober member of the cast. Jo and Auntie Kath  made a hasty retreat from their  front row deluxe seats, kids in tow after they witnessed a particular clown help the Jack Russell ascend a set of circus ladders with the aid " a kick in the bum."
