Yesterday I celebrated my swansong with family & friends at my book

Another great performance in the 25th year of Gifford’s Circus. I first went as an adult but over the last 10 years have taken the grandchildren who all love it. This is a traditional circus with live music and multi-cultural cast. The creativity is powerful.
