Posada 23: Quite at home in Stickland.

Donkey does not think he looks like a camel!

Mary and Joseph had a cuddle with Amber the house dog at this last Posada, then met their doppelgängers in our house- they say everyone in the world has a double! I had to do some recorder practice for the service at St Catherine's chapel this evening. Mary and Donkey enjoyed it - Joseph wasn't so keen on the racket and put his hands over his ears! It would soon be time for Mary's baby to arrive and he didn't want to frighten the baby ... it was time to move on!



Posada 23: Was Mary's baby to be born in this shining building?

On a wet and windy night, the traveling group headed north from Dorset, making their way to Wiltshire and the Cathedral at Salisbury. They were amazed at the size of the building and marvelled at the beautiful lights illuminating it.  ( Mary was overwhelmed by the Cathedral and didn't think they could stay there for the night.) So, it wasn't long before they made their return journey, feeling relieved to be back in the more familiar surroundings of the Winterborne Valley to spend the night in North Street, Winterborne Stickland.
