Mary, Joseph and their donkey arrived at our house this morning. George, our puppy, was very excited to meet them but the donkey wasn’t impressed by his loud barking! 
Here’s a group photo with George in his puppy carrier before going out for a walk in the village. At least, he stopped barking.

In the evening, Mary, Joseph and the donkey visited Holy Rood church to listen to the choir rehearsing for the Carol Service in 2 weeks time. Mary & Joseph enjoyed all the carol singing but the donkey fell asleep!
