I've spent today in Burgess Hill, home of the pencil fence...



I think that's where we get the phrase 'penned in'.

They've also got a Roman road, but having stood at the corner of the park for five minutes at lunchtime today, studying the tourist information sign, I realised it's been tarmacked over.

It was worth visiting the place though, because I saw this poster in the town centre...

Lock up your toddlers, it's the Chris and Pui Roadshow 2011! The West End and Broadway must be busy this year, because they're playing the Martlets Hall in Burgess Hill. It's like the Palladium, only closer to a branch of Lidl.

For anyone not familiar with Chris and Pui, they're the only two characters from 'Show Me Show Me' that you can't get knitted on eBay. They're also "CBeebies' favourite double act", which is crushing news for Nuzzle and Scratch, the health & safety alpacas. If you watch Amelie's Christmas video, you'll see her open Miss Mouse, and promptly ask for Momo. She'd also like Stuffy, Tom and Teddington. But what she's not expecting to get her hands on are the two presenters. At least, not legally.

But all that changed at lunchtime today, when I found out that Chris and Pui are performing live in Burgess Hill on the 9th of April. I booked our seats tonight. It was cheaper to get a family ticket, so as well as taking Amelie, we're adopting Lisa's nephew for the day. You know, the mad one. What could possibly go wrong?
