Blue skies

We had every problem starting a big top could have. The tent fell down on the first day. We had problems getting people into the shows. It was only with the courage and arrogance of youth that we survived.

We've got a festival going on in the city just now - Blue Skies - and today saw lots of arts organisations running workshops, events and performances in Baxter Park.

This is our bell tent. The skies may have been blue but the wind was still a problem ... Getting the bunting to stay on the tent was a challenge and a half. There was dressing up, colouring in, origami and photography. Great fun!
