hello there well these are just some of the hundreds of photographs that have been pouring
into the Blue Peter office all this week this is Chris and Lila the photo was taken on the 16th of

Britain 1957 and of course you can if you want to make things like policemen Cowboys things like
that and if you've got an awful lot of clothes to hang up you could have a go at making an entire
football team if you went to the circus over the holiday you'll know that no circus is complete
without several clowns and the other day I visited Bellevue circus in Manchester not just to watch
the clowns but to see what it was like actually being a clown in the rain we discovered afterwards
that they were quite certain we were going to fall off I wasn't too convinced we wouldn't either but
I managed to turn the horse in the correct manner even if it wasn't quite as elegant as
the real Cowboys in the chat I added all the same they cheered le lazy and i felt quite proud that
was pretty amazing I can tell you marvelous well listen if he carries on this rain he's gonna have
