Sunday 13th August.
The packed to capacity crowd of over 400 men women and loadsa kids were enjoying the show when the heavens opened and the biggest storm of heavy rain fell upon the Circus Marquee sounding as if there were a war going on outside as the heavy rain stotted onto the tent then suddenly all the lights went out with a power cut throwing the Marquee into mild panic. In a very orderly fashion they left the marquee with mums and dads getting a head to heel free shower in the pissing driving sodding effing rain FFS running to their cars somewhere in the mud followed by complaining brat kids as they all go slip sliding into the muddy ground and the stotting rain poor sods. The drivers of about 200 cars then go slip sliding all over then getting stuck in the mud thus ruining the field for our next morning Tuesday’s Car Boot Sale! Hilarious fun!
I know Kenny the Circus Boss was very upset but I could only see the funny side of those poor customers making their way home drenched to the skin ‘Oh shut TF up kid’s it’s only a bit of rain FFS’ one customers was said to overhear from a distraught father. Isn’t it amazing how father can be such a decent bloke and an utter b’stard at the turn of his ignition key as everyone drips rain all over his car seating and the windows steam up and he cannot see a frigging thing in front of him? Isn’t life wonderful FFS! Did you enjoy the Circus Daddy?
Tuesday Morning 15th
Kenny texted then phoned to tell me that the ground was so bad that in the interest of Public Safety I should come and see the ground. We agreed without me inspecting to CANCEL the Car Boot Sale so at 7.00 am I now have a problem. If a Car Boot does not go ahead today there will be a lot of disappointed sellers who have packed their cars in readiness to sell. I call David Leggo to ask if we could transfer the Car Boot from Newquay to Mitchell. We discussed the impact of the overnight rain on the ground conditions and he agreed to inspect the field to decide what to do! Twenty minutes later he phones from the field and BINGO let’s transfer todays Car Boot from Newquay which was a stunning success with loads of new buyers taking a break from the heavy A 30 traffic and of course all our regulars who spent well on ‘those stalls offering bargains’ to all and sundry, a most successful day with little damage to the well maintained and well drained fields. Thank you David!
Wednesday at St Columb Major went ahead with drizzle and heavy rain in the forecast which resulted in heavy rain throughout the South West spoiling our chances to go ahead with the Car Boot Sale on Thursday at 12.00 noon at Mitchell and an early morning call with Landlord Leggo we decided to cancel the sale in the interest of allowing the field to dry out hopefully for this coming Saturday’s Car Boot Sale at 12.00 noon, field inspection 8.00 am Saturday my lovers.

The packed to capacity crowd of over 400 men women and loadsa kids were enjoying the show when the heavens opened and the biggest storm of heavy rain fell upon the Circus Marquee sounding as if there were a war going on outside as the heavy rain stotted and snotted onto the tent then suddenly all the lights went out with a power cut throwing the Marquee into mild panic and complete darkness. In a very orderly fashion they left the marquee with mums and dads who are all getting getting a head to heel free shower in the pissing driving sodding effing rain FFS they start running to their cars and they have forgotten where TF they have parked somewhere in the mud followed by complaining brat kids as they all go slip sliding into the muddy ground and the stotting rain poor sods.
