I celebrated Epiphany again this year at Linton and this year we had REAL CAMELS! You remember that last year they were caught in the snow so we had to make do with panto substitutes, but the weather was good and Joseph’s Amzing Camels were there in good time. Mind you, giving them their breakfast (the school hedge), sorting out the costumes and getting the riders on board meant that we started late. So now we have the Living Archaeology Explanation of why it took the Three Wise Men so long to arrive: it was the camels, of course. Many congratulations to Louise the Head, Steve the Vicar, and of course All the Children: it was an amazing day.
Thanks to David Donnan of www.igentics.com for the terrific photos!

  • The Butler Did It (allegedly) May 29, 2012
    A well-worn phrase in ‘Murder Mysery’ circles where posh talking geezers and ladies with long cigarette holders sit on sofas whilst a fat Belgian or English old lady explains at great length who has ‘killed’ the geezer who has spent the last two hours laying down on the stage with a dummy knife in his back. Obviously this phrase isn’t that well-known in Vati […]
