Let’s hear it for Miranda!

I know that many of my readers and friends will be delighted to learn that Miranda, the daughter of my miracle worker, Felicity, was crowned Miss Lyra Australia at a glittering (aren’t they all!) ceremony held in Melbourne last Saturday evening.

For those of you who are pleased but puzzled as to what the heck a Lyra is, Wikipedia tells us “The aerial hoop (also known as the lyra, aerial ring or cerceau/cerceaux) is a circular steel apparatus (resembling a hula hoop) suspended from the ceiling, on which circus artists may perform aerial acrobatics. It can be used static, spinning, or swinging.”
