wed upon a wire

Anaspitos Bullzini found his mate,
arriving in style (though a little late)
Phoebe came a-gliding through the sky,
exchanging rings, they wed on high!

Upside down under

Clearly by the faraway look in his eye, we catch Anaspitos some time down under, keeping with the antipideon spirit, he's clearly upturned himself to feel more at home.

Love & Wheelbarrows at the Arboretum


  Summer time, a lady sees some flowers and her man meanders maticulously accross his tiny bridge and returns with blooms for his betrothed!

Back to the streets

Anaspitos always felt at home on the streets, the highs and lows of his life often left him feeling ropey.. often he couldn't see where he was going next, sometimes, he just couldn't see

A well balanced nap

New snaps just in.. Anaspitos caught napping on the wire, was it sleepy tea? Or was it just a great opportunity to soak up some summer sun, who knows?

Anaspitos Devizes a plan

The question; why did Anaspitos cross the road?

The answer; to sit for a cup of tea in the middle!

That's right, another sunny day and Anaspitos carefully treads a wire between the rooftops, enjoying the view of the many onlookers and pausing mid journey only to shower rose petals down on the crowd. Once coming to sit to haul up a pot, pour a tea and enjoy a hot cup of milky oolong!

Suir was a fine day

Could have been the 30's or maybe even later, sure it must be Ireland and over the Suir to be sure. Anaspitos out on a picnic methinks, judging by the gas stove strapped to his back, he was off to fry an egg for lunch 10m above the river Suir in Clonmel Tipperery!

a walk in the moonlight

Ahh yes, it was a beautiful crisp summers eve, I remember it well.. Anaspitos was snapped taking a friends pet Aardvark for a walk down the line, like 12m up and 122m accross.. if only there weren't those dazzling lights, the view might have been even more splendifferous!

a fayre old walk

What a treat, a rare old photo of Anaspitos dating back to the good old days when fayres sprung up in England's green lands throughout the summer months and it was not an uncommon sight to see daredevils take to the skies in an attempt to delight, amaze and inspire; this particular picture was taken at that BOOMing town out Winchester way!

what a wondershow


At first glance, I was sure that i was looking at a photo of Anaspitos but a second look determined as i recognised that saucy french beret, that it is none other than Marcel Mouche of the Cirque de Mouche performing in one of his many guises for the Insect Circus in Proffessor Vanessa's Wondershow.. i seem to remember that Mouche is a distant French cousin of Anaspitos with a similar performance style.. as for the date, looking at the fronts of the sideshows in the background. it must be somewhere in the 1950's or perhaps a little earlier.

knot on chimney pot


somehow, Anaspitos mus have ascented to the rooftops of the old fire station and by my reckoning, he got up with only longjohns and a vest for morning excercise. how to see if your clothes are dry? walk along the washing line and see.

a walk in the park


This shot shows Anaspitos taking a stroll in the park, amidst giants of trees, a wire was rigged and with the aid of his trusty pole, Anaspitos is seen seemingly seemlessly gliding through the air to the safety of a plain tree.
