    It was very moving.

    We had a small get together, some bread and wine, there was even a tear or two.

    A certain five year old threw a bit of a strop, however.

    Wow Tom, that's a brilliant bouncy castle. Do you have any pictures of people bouncing on it so that we can judge its bounciness?

    They certainly can.

    Don't worry, he was suitably reprimanded.

    And his beer was confiscated.*

    I do, but I don't really want to publish pictures of people and kids without permission.




    *this is of course a joke. The five year old was not drinking beer. He was drinking wine.

    anyone know where could i buy A castle like these, we hold several birthday partys at our home throughout the year and it would be cheaper for me to buy rather than hire, it will pay itself off after 2/3 years

    Hi try Ebay that's where I bought mine. Beware of cheap and nasty ones.
    I saw one on Amazon that had plastic pegs for £800 for a little more I got a professional grade one. look at BIHA site (british Inflatable Hirers alliance) for list of manufacturers.
