winter is coming back. after a few contracts in Nothern Italy and a quick tour of Southern France, we are now back in Ariege and since last week, the bus is back in his “quatier d’hivers”. Few improvements since last winter: Our little circus studio is finished and it is a great place to train when the weather is not too cold , our little tent is more insolated than last year and it is a great plus to our living arrangment, we are going twice a week to Toulouse to take some flying trapeze classes with the cie Envol and last but not least we are finally working on our installation of the 12 years journey which will includes a little museum, a photo exhibition and projection of a documentary. Scott is also writing two more books, one of the 12 year adventure and one of his 5 days cycle trip to England.

Today it’s Scott’s birthday and we were expecting quite a few people to come and visit our new home, but it seems the weather choosed otherwise so we’ll see who comes. Its is fun anyhow , it is the first time I see the bus in so much snow.

3rd of January and Theo has gone back to school after a really busy and jolly holydays, YES to school. So much has happened since my last blog.

After Sicily, we went touring Italy and specially Sardinia which is still a favourite of us after 12 years around the world.

Theo had made his wish to go to a real school so we came in Ariege in France and kind of settle down. The first few months we spent building an addition to the bus making it cosy for the winter. We finished just in time for the Christmas holiday and were able to receive family and friends to celebrate.

And now it is back to try to understand French bureaucracy  and find out in which “case” we belong as a circus duo with 16 years of experience but totally unknown in France. No doubt we will find our feet.

A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL
