A reverend angel, an excellent Joseph, a shifty King Herod, a truly bucolic shepherd and some very dubious wisemen; just part of the cast that brought the Nativity Story to the Manor Farm Barn. Well over a hundred folk turned out to hear this wonderful story, to sing carols and to hear the young people of our churches read and sing. The Revd Jo Lavasier held the whole event together and inspired us to reflect again on the birth of the Christ child. Many thanks to the stalwarts who provide the mulled wine and mince pies afterwards and to Steve and Julie Smith for the use of their barn
