nativity

I'd always laughed at nativity plays and proud parents getting their camcorders and cameras out as soon as the performance starts - but today I was one of them. Thinking we'd arrived early, we only just managed to get a seat right at the back - the room was mobbed....but when the performance started everyone grabbed their cameras (there must have been 30 of them) and started rolling. Bless their little cotton socks - the kids were great - and had I been on my own I would been blubbing away bursting with pride - those kids certainly knew how to milk the crowd. The photo above shows Grace as one of the angels - typecast? I think not. Hats off to the children and to the staff. We even got given sparkling wine at then end - before jumping on my bike to work.
