Bethlehem  just behind the nativity square.

 Well a pleasant surprise this morning. Joseph and Mary have reached Bethlehem, with no trouble getting over the channel, that is good news. Mary as you are aware is expecting her first child and  Joseph says that, listening to Mary, it seems as if things are starting to happen. So for a short time it is a waiting time.

No sign of the shepherds yet, nor anything about those weirdo's covered in bling.

While we wait Joseph sent me this post card of some steps just behind where they are staying, he also says that he will keep me in touch with what is happening with reference to the new addition. Joseph sounds rather nervous; after all it is his first one!
