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!

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