Anticipation

Christmas is less than two weeks away, so here is a round-up of Nativity scenes at churches in "the group".



Above: very traditional, unchanging, some of the plaster figures showing little chips which indicates they have been put out year after year.



Above: I liked this painted version - possibly a backdrop for a play?



Above: lots of hard work has gone into this version. Obviously a team effort. You can see more "work in progress" on the little table at the back (this is the Sunday School corner).



Above: this knitted version had a Clangeresque style that is very attractive.



Above: if you are prepared to brave the freezing cold you can join us for special Evensong next Sunday which will involve a trudge through the country lanes. Possibly the ground will be frozen underfoot - the recent hoare frost brought an unusual quality to night-time walking, reflecting the light so that you could see the hedges and fields clearly. And you will experience a rare presentiment sense of anticipation as you turn off the muddy lane and walk up the long rough drive to Red House Farm...
