The other night, as Darrell was drawing the blinds before we all retired, he noticed two, large, spectral beams of light continually crossing over each other in the sky, reflecting, rather beautifully, in the river. It was, he said both romantic, but a touch unsettling at the same time!
In the end curiosity got the better of him and he went outside accompanied by Eric (formally known as Nigel) to get a closer look.
It was indeed tres, tres romantic .......
...... however as we didn't have a clue as to what they were and where they were actually coming from, it was also a little ominous, with both Darrell and Eric's minds running riot, immediately going from something of an investigative police type nature (after all, we are no strangers to the odd police helicopter going over in the middle of the night with their penetrating beams and unmistakable sound) to the more alarmist, close encounter of the third kind, envisioning aliens attempting to make contact with the inhabitants of a nearby, isolated village. I ask you? Too much cheese with their crackers at supper time, more like, me thinks!
In the end I had to shout them to come in, telling them that I was sure all would be revealed in the fullness of time if they just chilled.
It goes without saying that I was indeed right (as ever), with it not taking that long thanks to Facebook posts .......
....... and young Eric spotting a whole plethora of posters plastered all over Evesham when he next went on the school run! Soooooooo, nothing unearthly or nefarious ....... just the circus coming to town. What on earth are they like?

Mystery solved. No need for Scooby-Doo and his pals to investigate.
It is great that they are both curious, and with vivid imaginations!
I think there will be requests to visit the circus from young Eric now as he’s seen the poster.
