Episode Four: A Christmas Pageant 
Christmas stories, poetry and a double-act you won't want to miss.
Oh yes, and a talking sheep....
In loving memory of Jackie white 1957-2020
If you have been following these Podcasts you may recognise some of the children’s voices here. If they sound younger that’s because they were recorded in 2017 and played one sunny Sunday in December at what was sadly to prove to be the last village Pageant Jackie would attend.
