Happy Christmas!
This time last year I posted a photo of the NT Sutton Hoo Shepherd's Hut.
I have seen a couple more of these mobile shelters this year,
and thought I might share them with you.
David Morris has written a delightful book on the subject
entitled Shepherds' Huts and Living Vans.
I hope I may encounter some more in 2016!

Their flocks by night
All seated on the ground
The angel of the Lord came down
And glory shone around ...'

Hello, I enjoyed this post, the sheep and the Shepherds huts. Merry Christmas to you and your family. I wish you all the best in 2016, Happy New Year!
Wonderful idea for a Christmas post - a Very Happy Christmas to you too :)
I wish you and your family the best over this Christmas season. I like seeing the huts and the different devices they used to help them move them.
