Lady Maairy in the Holy Land (Part 1)

Lady Maairy visits the Holyland

This is me and Yoav, my host on this trip. ‘OK’ I hear you say, ‘I didn’t realise the ‘Holyland’ was so green’. I don’t want to mislead you but this was my last chance of grass for 2 wks and I think Yoav was pointing towards Mecca (Photo1)

So here I am in the ‘Holyland’, it’s a bit hot in my crate and I was wishing i’d asked for a No 1 all over instead of a standard shear so a dip in the sea of Galilea hit the right spot. No, I can hear you ask – I did not attempt to walk on water! (Photo2)

However I wasn’t quite prepared for

the next water encounter with a baptismal ritual in the Jordan river, I mean haven’t they read the recommendations? One minute whole body, including head, for sheep scab not just a bowl of water over my scalp! I want my money back! (Photo 3)
