I have some lovely days out

last thursday We visited a Lovely little village called Ein Kerem
here is a little bit about the place.

Ein Kerem is a pilgrimage site for many Christian visitors, who come here year after year. According to Christian tradition, this is where Elizabeth, the mother of John the Baptist, miraculously became pregnant. This is also where he was born. Tradition teaches that during her pregnancy, Elizabeth was visited by a family relative - Mary, who was also pregnant, with Jesus. The two women met beside the village well and Mary drank from its cool waters. That place is now called Mary’s Well. The village around the well grew and its waters are considered holy. Many pilgrims come to drink from the well and take the holy water away with them in bottles.

 

It was a lovely day I went with "the builder" his sister and her husband .

I have to get into the blogging rythym

I thought it would be easy to get back into blog land but it is not the time the boys back are back school and I am working on a part time basis //news update on that I was working at the playgroup and also a plant nursery I stopped working at both jobs for one reason or other and now I work with the old folk which is a lot of fun and we have some good times.

The garden is still a mess  though we still have some vegatables  growing and having little harvests here and there.
