The Blackcountry Man

The Inn Keeper and his Daughter.

After the long and dangerous journey through the Breirley Hill High Street and down through Brettle Lane and into the Inn.

After knocking on all the Inns and finding no room at any, The couple finally ended up at the end of the road and the
Final Inn in Bethlehem, Joseph knocked and he was greeted with a Little Inn Keeper dressed in blue and an old inn keeper
the was dressed in Florescent Yellow smock.

"What do you want" asked the Inn Keepers daughter

"We need a room for a few days" Said Joseph, "and my wife is due to have a baby too, and she's a virgin"

That shocked both the Inn Keepers, has there were not many Virgins in Brierley Hill these days.

We have no rooms free but we do have the stable, there is plenty of fresh straw.

Joseph and Mary looked at the Stable (OK it's the Summer house again), "it looks a little cold"
said Mary "but we will take it, we have no choice."

The Inn Keeper asked if there would be any visitors?

Joseph said that the Angels said there would be a few.

"Oh no" said BM The inn Keeper, "not more sheep, good thing Mrs BM didn't hear that".

"Lets hope that they keep away this year" said the Inn Keepers daughter.

"OK in you go and you can put that donkey in the Stable too", said The Inn Keeper.

As the Inn Keepers looked towards the East and they could see a Bright Star heading for them.

Stay tuned for the next installment.
