The horse chesnut flowers look BEAUTIFUL at the moment -

and there are lots of alliums about too (they thrive in a sheltered, sunny, open, well-drained site) - these ones are at Burford Garden Company (which I visited on Saturday, much more than just a garden centre!)

We had a trip into Burford itself and managed to get a lock in at the butchers in an attempt to purchase some venison burgers! I spotted this poster whist in the butchers - go and see the show if you get a chance…

WAR AND PEACE AT THE CIRCUS 2011
Expect thrilling scenes inspired by this epic Russian novel re-imagined for a family audience. New costumes, new choreography, new artistes, and an original score by the Giffords Circus band, as well as Giffords Circus favourites such as Brian the Goose, Tweedy the Clown and Red the Horse. The show is produced by Nell and Toti Gifford, written and directed by Irina Brown, with music by Sarah Llewellyn and choreography by Fleur Darkin.

And as with every tour, Giffords Circus will travel across much of rural Gloucestershire and the South West with the show, bringing families and communities together to share in this magical circus experience. The tour will start on Thursday 19th May 2011 at Gloucester, travelling through Hay Festival, Cheltenham, Broadway, Tackley, Stadhampton, Lechlade, Barrington, Frampton, Minchinhampton, Marlborough; and ends in Cirencester’s Stratton Meadows on Sunday 11th September 2011.

In 2011 we also welcome back Circus Sauce, the unique forty-two seat travelling restaurant that is part of the circus on tour. After the show, we serve a starlit sumptuous dinner, using fresh seasonal and local ingredients, to the artistes and the audience. Circus Sauce is also open during intervals for freshly baked cakes, traditional ice-cream, teas, fruit drinks and other tasty refreshments.
