Mary's boy child

Contrary to the media reports regarding its demise; the nativity is alive and kicking at Bocking Church Street school. If not as a play then in the form of a nativity tableau during the school carol concert. Coming as he does from a long line (actually pretty much limited to his great grandmother) of people who can't resist the smell of the greasepaint and the roar of the crowd Thomas was handed a key role, that of Joseph. There was no lines to speak as such but he did need to carry a sheep.
Mummy, Martha and Nanny all went along to watch, Martha was so keen to see her brother in his first starring role that she decided to go up and see him during the event.
