A much needed lie-in this morning after our opening night last night in the village of Saint Bonnet De Troncais. It was a sweltering, hot day and setting up our stage in the village square was sweaty business. The show went well considering the short time we've whipped it together and we had a lovely reception from the 150 strong crowd. After the show when we'd packed up and arrived back at base in La Chaussee (about 1am), there was a pan of hot soup waiting for us in the kitchen/restaurant, somebody turned up with a 'Orgue de Barbarie', and I was transported into a smokey, old, black and white French movie!

In just under an hour we're off to Ainay Le Chateau to set up tonight's show, which will be on the main street in the town. Tomorrow, our last show will be here at La Chaussee in the le grand chapiteau and the atmosphere in there promises to be electric. A bientot!
