I’ve known Chris from https://1066local.com/ and he gave me a swift tour of the different areas. I had a look in a couple of new inside areas ready for the onset of autumn weather. The Lost World play barn looked great with dinosaurs everywhere (not real ones!). There is a huge set of crazy slides and lots of play areas for kids to clamber upon. It was a grey Thursday and some schools had not opened yet so it was fairly busy with a thousand people in the park limited by COVID-19 safety precautions. Some areas, rides and activities were closed but there was still a ton of stuff to do for kids and adults alike. On the safety front, lots of hand wash areas as well as hand sanitiser everywhere. As most of the park is outside and masks needed inside by adults and older kids inside, I felt very safe and looked after.

It’s been five months, long, unusual and difficult months, since I last performed to a live audience. This weekend just gone (beginning of August 2020) I performed again!

I’ve travelled a lot due to being a balloon artist and performer!

At the time of writing (June 30th 2020) as some businesses are opening up again, the current Government guidelines mean that I cannot entertain at events.

In this day and age there are many channels of communication. It’s like a T.V – some people like tuning in to BBC, others like Channel 4 or Channel 4+1 for convenience. Some even prefer subscribing to Netflix. And of course there are many others too. Which one do you prefer to get in touch with your local balloon entertainer?! Here are some of my channels you can tune into and contact me to ask questions, book events or make balloon delivery orders or enquiries.

Learning from Courgettes At the beginning of lockdown I planted some seeds: courgettes, tomatoes, nasturtiums and radish. It’s now about eight weeks later.

I had a huge success this weekend. It’s only taken me one and three quarter years to do it. What might that be? you ask. What have you done? That’s a good question – thanks for asking!

Play every day even in lock down. Its important for many reasons.

If you are stuck at home, or working from home keeping the NHS safe and yourselves from the lethal lurgy, you can still support local businesses and help keep them working and supporting your requirements, or doing fun things. Check out your favourites on Facebook, their website and other social media to see how you can support them in these strange times.

I’ve been a silent performer for many years. However I realised that I needed to branch out and speak a lot, necessary in birthday parties and other events where I’m interacting with people. I also try to vary what I do in my solo theatre shows and perform a new skill each show. In the current show “Frankenstein for Kids” I speak a lot, revealing the story, explaining and joking with word play adding to the physical comedy.
