If any of you are watching the carnival, you won't miss me....my wheelchair is a castle, i'm dressed as king George and i have a massive colourful dragon over the top of me!!!! My little sister will be in her trike decorated with flowers and ladybirds (thats if she stays awake) and my helpers are wearing bright yellow t-shirts.

Little George Butterworth is a medical mystery whose neurological condition has doctors stumped.
The three-year-old, of Silverwood Road, Kettering, needs five pieces of equipment just to get around his house and was not expected to see his first birthday.
His family is raising £20,000 to buy a new wheelchair which would give him freedom and independence.
Mum Donna Carr said: “When he was nine months old he had a seizure that lasted for four weeks.
“The doctors told us that was it and to prepare for the worst, so we had him christened and he had end-of-life care.
“They didn’t know what was wrong with him and said he was a palliative case so to just enjoy every day with him while he’s here.
“He gets frustrated because he sees his sister Penny moving around wherever she likes but he has to move from piece to piece of equipment.
“The new wheelchair would give him more control over what he does.”
Doctors can find no physical problems with George’s body but his seizures mean he cannot do anything himself.
Mark Butterworth, who adopted George earlier this year, said: “We’ve done a car boot sale and we’re at the Corby Carnival on Saturday.
“We’re decorating his wheelchair like a float and taking him around the fair.
“Donna and I are engaged but the wheelchair is more important than a wedding.”
