    "So Cirque D'Hiver wants a girl to throw the triple for the 150th anniversary of flying trapeze, I want you to do it."
    "Ahh, but I don't throw the triple.."
    "I reckon you can do it."

    Well, as they say: The best laid plans of mice and men.

    The Netherlands National Circus was travelling through England when I joined 'The Flying Bulldancers'.

    We trained everyday, we worked hard and we had a lot of fun.

    It didn't quite go the way we had all hoped, but our season at Cirque Bouglione in Paris for the winter, is without a doubt, one of the most memorable times of my trapeze career!
