My husband and I didn’t tell my son he was going to the circus, just that we were taking him somewhere and that it was a surprise. I’m not sure who was more excited, him or me!
As we pulled onto the car park at our local Garden Centre where the circus was based, my son’s eyes were drawn to the huge circus tent and lights and his face immediately lit up.
