The Shepherds Arrive.....

Up in the hills the Shepherds were watching their flocks, no, not washing their socks!!!
The Angels visited them and told them to follow the Star that was in the East and they would find a little baby boy, who was the Son of God.
They gathered their sheep and undertook the dangerous journey to the small town of Brierley Hill Bethlehem.

At the Stable the Inn Keeper was getting very worried as he could here the sound of Bleating coming from afar and he knew that Mrs BM would be very stressed if she heard them.

At that the door bell went, "Oh No" he said, "just when I thought it couldn't happen again, it has".

Mrs BM answered the door and three very small Shepherds waltzed in and straight through the house, with the sheep in tow.
"Not again BM" she said, watch were they are treading in that Sheep Sh!!! Poo.
BM tried to get them through the house without too much bother but to no avail, Poo everywhere yet again.

"BM. Get them into the Garden to the Stable (I know it's the Summer House), quick before they do anymore damage" she cried.

Once there he asked the Shepherds what they were doing here?

The Angels told us to follow the Star and here we are.
What star?
That Star there up in the sky.

The Inn Keeper said to the Shepherds, "You have come too early, again, can't you ever get the right day, the Baby hasn't arrived yet you need to go and come back later.

The small Shepherds were very disappointed but after they had a peep inside the stable and saw the Lady hadn't given birth yet, so they packed up the sheep and wandered off, towards the nearest hills.

Mrs BM cleaned the house and BM went back to the garden and wondered what else would be in store for them this year.
