So, what happened to the sheep?

Do ewe remember these?

Back in December Di B, Helen and I helped out our neighbouring parish by knitting seven googly-eyed sheep for their Christmas outreach.

Almost as much fun as the knitting was the photographic session we had before popping our sheep in a bag and delivering them to our friend Jane.

We met up with Jane over coffee a few weeks ago, and she reported that these fat little fellows were a great hit. Where did they end up?

Bo Peep looks as if she’s enjoyed a little too much Christmas cheer!

Around a dozen cafes and shops in the neighbourhood around St John’s agreed to display a sheep for the 10 days leading up to Christmas Eve.

   They gave their sheep names, and children did the rounds visiting the shops on the Messy Christmas Sheep Trail and compiling a list of names that they handed in at the church for some prizes.

Finally, the sheep were all gathered in and took pride of place at the children’s Christmas Eve service.

They were a great link between St John’s and the community as adults and children alike took ownership of “their” sheep!
