Messrs Barnum and Bailey are delighted to announce the arrival of their circus at Olympia.  Watch our aerialists, listen to the military band, be amazed by the re-enactment of the American sea battle with the Spanish fleet at Santiago, be thrilled by the equestrian act with no less than 70 horses in the ring at once.  Come one, come all!

Watch out for the lion's and the freaks of various dimensions!

All visitors are warned attendance is at their own risk.

I do not have to attend the circus to witness the re-enactment of battles... (To be fair, Mr. Holmes has so far not managed to get 70 horses into his rooms.)

My dear Mrs H, please be careful you do not tempt fate. Or cause Mr Holmes to view this as a challenge.

Gosh...one wonders how the little circuses survive.

Oh, and I grow roses...may I visit the ring after the 70 horses?

There are many village greens which suit the little circuses admirably.

Please bring your own bucket.

I shall sleep better now

Will do:-)
