Les Clowns!

One of the many things I do here in the lovely town of Spa is help with their version of scouts. I am a "lutin chef". So I help look after the girls ranging from 8-12? I think. This every Saturday, and this Saturday we did something a little special. We split the girls into five groups and went around town selling clown noses! It was 2 euros a nose and all the money went to an organization of clowns who go to hospitals and retirement homes to entertain the sickly. After we sold almost all our noses, we met up on "the clown bus". A normal city bus decked out with balloons and some of the kids clown art, equipped with megaphone for singing of silly songs. There we learnt songs, at a snack, and the girls who made the best clown art pieces won prizes! And not mediocre here's water squirting flower prizes. The first group (the girls made the clown art in groups of six) got a free helicopter ride! The second group got a free movie outing. Now seeing as helicopter rides are little hard to organize, and half the girls were terrified at the idea, we've decided to sell them and go to something together as a whole group instead. It was great fun, and I now have to clown noses to sew onto my blazer! Not to mention to use in ridiculous pics.
