Press Photo Smith Family Trapeze Practice

Life's all a swinging for the Smith Family; Most families have a children's swing in the garden, but the Lapine -Smiths of great Bookham, Surrey, go several steps better - they have a real triple circus trapeze. Any afternoon, after Tracey, 9, and Janyne, 11, come home from school, they can as likely be seen enjoying a cup of tea with their dad, up on the swinging trapeze, watched calmly but admiringly by their mother. They get in their practice before doing their homework, for keep in practice they must if they are to maintain the standard set by their father, Peter, himself a former trapeze artist. They are now a family not in their spare time and have performed at various circuses a far away as Stafforsshire and as near to their home as Chessington.
