Happy New Year from Fox Manor

Wishing you all a very Happy and Prosporous 2008... Good luck with any resolutions you may have. I've done the smoking one save the odd Cigar and the occasional pipe. It seems the government is making it easier to quit due to the ban although I fear with all new the restrictions and bans being inforced it may just be a matter of time before human beings are, themselves, banned from existance! Personaly I prefer living in the "Olden Days" with a glass of Sherry, some chestnuts and the occasional ghost popping in for a wee spot of Wooooooing :o)

Merry Christmas

With candy canes and wooden balls and underneath a mountain of toys its a thrill to see for all who come, there's something there for everyone! I wasn't going to have tree but when I said this to my Angel she flew down and made it happen causing quite a stir in the local area (It's not often they see angels around here) It's 9 ft tall and is standing very proud in a window bay that seems to have been specially made for the job. Wishing you all a wonderful festive time full of big fat stockings and Xtra helpings of everything X

The Fabulous Flutterbee Outfit

Cristmas is a busy time of year for most people including Elves and Pixies. I have many diffrent guises but this one is my favorate at this time of year. Made with much love and magic over 23 moons by none other than the now Infamous Pirate of the Seas, Flutterbee the First. Many have been entrances by its flashing lights and pretty colours and some will never be the same again. It's been a wonderful month and I have entertained folk from all angles of life. From a party of 2000 Girls at Pasha to a small gathering of Millionaires in Devon. A few nights ago I was asked to produce two Diamond rings for a Silver Wedding Party... when the pound coin the wife was holding turned into a 25 diamond ring the atmosphere was pure magic... the perfect time to dissappear!

A Victorian Christmas

Last week I worked three days at a Victorian Christmas Fair in Portsmouth Historic Dockyard. The atmosphere was magical with hundreds of people dressed up in traditional costume. The streets were filled with kids playing traditional games and horses, penny farthings, roast chestnut vendors, marching bands, mulled wine shops, old wenches, tramps, punch and Judy, a clockwork soldier and even Queen Victoria made a few appearences! The weather was really bad at times but there was a great indoor market which made a perfect place to shelter and pick a few pockets. I bought a walking cane which is also three flutes and a hollow book to keep treasure in! :o)

Bella Italia

This week I flew to Italy between jobs and caught up on the last 8 years with my God Brother Ali. I flew with Air France and missed my transfer at Charles De Gaul airport as their plane came in late so spent 6 hours kicking my heels about the place. I was sooo tempted to buy a PSP! We played lots of Golf in Italy on a fabulous course and were very well matched (see photo) I returned to the UK only to discover that my car had been the victim of a hit and run, probably a big lorry judgeing by the rip down the side! Had an interesting job in Reading last night working with Sigfried the singing Reindeer and a Christmas tree and a Fairy on stilts... !

Black Bella

Ahh, the country life! Hacking over the Moors, drinking Sherry and shooting Peasants on Sundays are among my many new found hobbies. Here is a photo of me mounted upon my noble stead, the infamous Black Bella - NightMare of the Moor. She can go from walk to gallop in the blink of an eye, out run any farmer on a quad bike, play poker terribly well and even fly if she wants too! Tally Ho!

Happy Halloween!

Good luck if you run into any of these guys!

Dartmoor Beasts

Dartmoor has become my rediscovered kingdom. I spend much of my free time exploring and photographing the wonders it beholds for those wishing to find them. I love being able to drive alongside a heard of horses and throw them a carrot or two and stoping to chat to the sheep about the latest news. Walking on the moors by moonlight is another thrill with shillouetts of giant beasts appearing amidst the fog and then Mooooing loudly, scaring the begeeebers outta ya before wandering off to find another victim!

Harry the Wonder Dog

Harry the Wonderdog is here! Sallie and Duncan's baby Harry is a true joy to watch and his energy lights up any room he enters. Being both a true gentleman and a playful young scamp, he will make friends anywhere and even eats at the table, drinks sherry, plays scrabble and uses the lavratory putting the seat down afterwards. You can see him in action here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6oE_uwPr_U

Story time with the Fox!

When I used to watch people from the "outside world" come in and talk to us in school assembly I never could have imagined that one day it would be me. The time had come for me to be the special guest story teller and spread the word of water to the masses! Joined by a 7 foot entorange of 5 massive super heros to assist with the story of the H20 gang and their invisible dog, Splash. Great fun!

Russia Tour 2007

It was a crazy trip this year and I had to sign a power of attourney and appoint a solicitor to represent me in court the morning I made it out of Moscow back to the UK!

Highlights were;

Teaching loads of children to Juggle.
The 36 hr train ride down south from Moscow to Vladikavkas.
Buying an electric rabbit and dog that I whipped with a ribbon stick on stage as they performed tricks and acts of deviance.
Getting arrested by local police and held in a headmasters office for 4 hours while KGB, a solicitor, lots more policemen and a chicken arrived.
We took a trip 4 hours into the mountains and then had lunch in the middle of them (the Mountains) Lunch was as fresh as can be. A sheep bubbling away in a pot to greet us!

New Olimpic Sport - Pig Gymkhana

One of my God Mother's piggy wiggies in training for the new olimpic sporting bid - Pig gymkhana. Its never been done before and its the latest proposal from the NFU and mayor of London to encourage the city's massive transport network back to traditional methods with a strong environmental message... "Don't eat them, fleet them", Other animals are to include Cows (with horns not bells) Sheep, and Geese!

Poker is my new game!

I don't really play poker but some of my friends were in a 36 player game so I decided to have a go. Five hours later I had made it to the "Top" table and was surrounded by a crowd of spectators. Needless to say I ended up winning the game, the trophy and £85 much to mine and many other's suprise!

Laughter in the name of the Law!

These Big Green Gathering kids tried to read my future with the help of some tarrot cards and a book. When their patience started running out they stole my hat and one tried to bite me! Everyone was laughing so i guess it wasn't so bad and I did get my hat back, eventually!

Sharing a joke around a giant table and chairs made from a 200 yr old tree that grew up in a grave yard. I was interviewing these guys on their spirituality and beliefs... the table and chairs is for sale at 20k (I have the details if anyone is interested, it would look great on the patio!)

Brighton Festival 2007

This is from a program for "The Big Splash" to mark the end of the Brighton Festival 07. Sadly it rained quite alot on the day but fun was still had and I compared a gint Pinata contest which kept the dampness amused. Lots of sweet crazed kids whacking the pinata with a large stick for ages! In the end I had to get the biggest guy from the audience to smak the S**t out of it untill all the sweets burst out onto the floor which soon became a sea of rats in children form!

Magic

I have been practising the fine art of Magic my whole life. Any real magician will tell you that the secret to performing real Magic is within us all... you just have to find it again and start using it! Simple when you remember how... If you need some help then read a book called "Unlock the Magic of your mind" by Al Koran.
If you want to find out more about the Magic that I do, where, when, how and with who then get in touch... I would be more than happy to share.
