What a wonderful thing to be asked to do.

We are great fans of Cirque Du Soleil, we've seen perhaps five of their different shows, including one that was a little "explicit" shall we say? We had our children with us, and really should not have chosen front row seats. I'm usually "up for it" to be invited on stage, but not that time. I tried to hide.

This is a mandolin for our friend David Buckingham, who has joined the group as a guitarist /mandolinist and they wanted the mandolin painted to fit in!! David had a lovely lady fly in specially to do the painting, and we've ferried it back and forth as required.

I'm hoping we will get free tickets, but I'm not sitting in the front row again and I'm no good on a trampoline.
