Meet the skeleton staff on the ticket desk today.

I heard of a mechanical circus exhibition of automota taking place at Tullie House in Carlisle. It sounded right up my street. Not knowing how long it was on for, I assumed that it would be taking place during the midterm school holidays so there was no time to lose if I wanted to see it. Off we set early this morning in the driving rain. Got to the main doors, shook the water off our jackets and went inside, only to be greeted with a huge queue of kids with their parents. I should have known better! Luckily we found out that the exhibition is on until June, so we made a hasty retreat and went shopping instead. When we return, I hope to have a nice shot of something for you. In the meantime, this character was at the entrance to the exhibition.
