Every year the children from the local school put on a nativity play in the church. We make a point of going as we know some of the kids and most of the parents.

The play tells the traditional story of Mary, Joseph and the baby. It is, however entirely secular – there is no mention of God, Jesus or any other deity. It was very enjoyable, and the children did very well to learn so much material. Afterwards we called in at Mira’s steakhouse, which has opened for the season today. If you like red meat you’re in for a treat here.

The poor weather that we’ve endured over the past week or so is behind us, and this morning we awoke to a glorious day. The village is looking perfect, just in time for the holidays.
