Advent Scavenger Hunt 16- Nativity

Today, I went out on a charity-shop trawl with two of the three other members of the flute quartet I play in. We had a lovely time- I ended up buying a few books for school, a few books for me, some audio books for our long car journeys and then some lovely Cashmere trousers!

 In the Relate charity shop, I saw this delightful knitted nativity window display.   It was so jolly and fun and reminded me of when I used to have my viola lessons on a Friday night in the classroom of a school.  That classroom was always disgustingly dirty and my lovely viola teacher was always complaining about it.  One Christmas time, a knitted nativity turned up in the classroom which I used as a distraction point for my teacher. She was enchanted by the nativity and I remember telling my friend Christina, who had her later, to ask her about the nativity to distract her from the pieces! Ha ha, we used to love teasing Mrs C! She was a funny, competent, kind, informative and lovely teacher, an incredible musician who was an ex-Halle Orchestra player but terribly eccentric! We adored her.

What type of Nativity scene do you have, if any?x
